What an apostille is
An apostille is a certificate that confirms a public document is genuine, so that another country can accept it. Canada has been part of the Hague Apostille Convention since January 11, 2024. Canadian documents going to another member country can carry an apostille instead of going through consular legalization.
What we do
- We obtain the apostille from the authority responsible for your document.
- We translate the document and its apostille, with a certified translation where the receiving country requires one.
- We tell you whether the destination country needs an apostille or legalization.

Check the requirements before you order
The organization that receives the document decides what it accepts. Confirm with it whether it needs an apostille, a certified translation, the order of the two, and whether paper or digital copies are required. We confirm the format and the delivery date with your quote.
Questions about apostilles in Canada
Is an apostille the same as a certified translation?
No. An apostille confirms that the document is genuine. A certified translation confirms that the translation is faithful. Many cross-border files need both.
Which countries accept an apostille?
Countries that are party to the Hague Apostille Convention. If the destination country is not, the document usually needs legalization instead. Tell us the destination and we will confirm which route applies.
Can you apostille documents issued in any province?
Tell us where the document was issued. The competent authority depends on the document and the province, and we will confirm it with your quote.
