Tunisia is a Hague Apostille country. A single apostille from the correct Canadian authority is accepted in Tunisia, no embassy or consular legalization step. Because Canada joined the Convention without any objection, Canadian apostilles are accepted there.

How your document is routed in Canada
The Canadian authority depends on where your document was issued or notarized, not on where you live. See the document guides and the by-province overview for the exact authority, fee and timeline.
Most-requested documents for Tunisia include marriage, family, study and business. Common examples are RCMP checks, birth and marriage certificates, and degrees, each with its own routing, which we confirm at pre-check.
Common questions
Does Tunisia accept Canadian apostilles?
Yes. Tunisia is a contracting party to the Hague Apostille Convention, and Canada's accession was accepted without objection, so a Canadian apostille is accepted with no embassy or consular legalization step.
Which authority apostilles my document?
It's decided by where the document was issued or notarized, Québec, Ontario, BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan have their own; federal documents and all other provinces go to Global Affairs Canada.
Do I need a translation?
French is widely used in Tunisia, so French documents are often workable; an Arabic translation may be required by the receiving authority. We confirm at pre-check.
