Document Authentication and Legalization - Apostille Canada

Document authentication with the Global Affairs Canada (formerly the Department of Foreign Affairs and Internal Trade) (DFAIT/JLAC) and document legalization at an Embassy or Consular office are services that are provided by our associate office, Capital Authentication, practically each and every business day.

In order to provide swifter levels of service, Global Affairs Canada suggests that if “you do not live in the Ottawa-Gatineau area, you can hire an authentication and legalization service or a process server in the area to bring your documents to the office in person”.

As a process server with MCA Process Service, our office attends regularly at Global Affairs Canada for the purpose of having Canadian documents authenticated for use in a foreign country.

In addition, we regularly attend at embassies and consular offices located in Ottawa to submit documents for legalization.  If your documents are required to be legalized in another Canadian city, such as Montreal, Toronto, Calgary or Vancouver, we can also assist with their submission for legalization.

The fees charged by Capital Authentication are tailored to the specific requirements of each individual client.  Depending on the urgency of your authentication and/or legalization needs, there are also several processing options available to suit your needs.

If you are located in Canada, are a Canadian national living abroad or a corporation requiring such services, we welcome you to contact our office.  We would be happy to provide you with a free no-obligation quote that will best suit your needs.  Contact us today in the format of your choice either by e-mail or telephone.

Let us demonstrate to you that our service goes “beyond the expected”.
