Apostille Legalization Services
While Canada officially joined the Hague Apostille Convention in 2024, many documents still require embassy legalization—especially if they are being sent to or used in non-Hague countries. Additionally, if you are using U.S.-issued documents in Canada for legal, academic, or immigration purposes, those documents typically must be legalized through a Canadian Consulate.
Documents often requiring legalization for use in Canada include:
-
Corporate documents: certificates of incorporation, board resolutions, commercial agreements, and powers of attorney.
-
Educational credentials: diplomas, transcripts, teaching licenses, and academic verifications.
-
Personal documents: FBI background checks, marriage or divorce certificates, birth certificates, affidavits, and medical reports.
Legalization Process
The U.S. to Canada document legalization process generally includes:
Document Preparation and Notarization
Ensuring documents are properly completed and notarized, if applicable.
State Authentication
Notarized and state-issued documents are authenticated by the Secretary of State.
Federal Authentication
Authentication is then completed by the U.S. Department of State.
Consular Legalization
Documents are submitted to the appropriate Canadian Consulate or Embassy for legalization.
