Document Authentication

Before many Canadian documents can be used abroad, their signatures and seals must be authenticated by the competent Canadian authority. We prepare documents correctly, manage submissions, and track the file so it does not stall on a technicality.

Common questions

Authentication, legalization, or apostille?

How long does authentication take?
