We begin by reviewing your documents to ensure they meet the necessary requirements for authentication and legalization. Whether it’s a birth certificate, diploma, corporate contract, or power of attorney, our experts carefully assess each document.

Certain documents may need to be notarized by a Notary Public before they can be authenticated. Our in-house Notary Public will handle this step to ensure your documents are properly prepared for the next stage.

If your document is not in English or French, you will need a certified translation to accompany the original document before it can be legalized. We offer professional translation services through certified translators to ensure that your documents meet the required standards for authentication. This is an essential step to guarantee your document’s validity abroad.

We submit your notarized documents to the Ontario Ministry of Government and Consumer Services for authentication. This step verifies that the notary’s signature is genuine and that the document is valid for international use.

In some cases, documents may also need to be authenticated at the federal level by Global Affairs Canada in Ottawa, ensuring that they meet foreign governmental standards.

For countries that do not accept the Apostille process, we handle the final step of embassy or consulate legalization. This involves submitting your documents to the relevant embassy for certification, making them valid for use in that particular country.

Once all steps are complete, your fully authenticated and legalized documents are ready for use abroad. We offer both in-person pickup and secure mail delivery, depending on your preference.
