Apostille and legalization services

Certified translation

When the destination authority needs your document in another language, we arrange a certified translation accepted for official use, and, where required, get the translation apostilled too so document and translation travel together. Priced by language pair and page count.

The certification belongs to the translator who signs and seals the work, we match your document to the right one and verify the credential.

Consular & embassy legalization

Apostilles only work for Hague Convention members. For everywhere else, we coordinate the full chain, authentication, then legalization at the destination country's embassy or consulate, so your document is valid where you actually need it.

Notarization coordination

Many documents must be notarized before they can be authenticated. We coordinate notarization, including remote online notarization where available, and, in Québec, the mandatory signature-verification step at the Chambre des notaires or Barreau.

Document retrieval

Don't have the original yet? We order vital-records certificates (birth, marriage, death), RCMP criminal-record checks and diploma/transcript copies on your behalf, then take them straight through apostille, no detour back to a government counter. Living abroad? The RCMP check from abroad starts with ink fingerprints where you live.

eApostille handling

Your document was issued as a signed PDF and no authority will apostille a printout. We take the digital original, run it through the certified true copy route, and return an apostille from the right competent authority. What is really electronic, and what is not.

Secure shipping & digital copy

Tracked, insured courier for your originals, inbound and return, anywhere in the world, always by the fastest available method, with a tracking number and a notification the moment they're picked up. Plus a PDF scan of the finished set the day it's ready, so you can act before the paper even lands.

Rush handling

On a deadline? Expedited processing, and rush notarization or signature verification where the authority allows it. Tell us the date, we'll tell you honestly what's possible before you pay.

Current processing times

What all six Canadian authorities are reporting right now, with the date each figure was checked, and how to turn that into a realistic door-to-door estimate for your own file.

Notarization

Private documents cannot be apostilled until a notary certifies them, and the wrong signature gets the file refused. We coordinate the right professional, in the right province, at cost with no markup.

Certified translation

Most destinations want the document in their own language, and whether you translate before or after the apostille depends entirely on the country. We confirm the order before anyone is engaged.

RCMP check from abroad, apostilled
