Authentication & Legalization Services

Authentication and Legalization Services in Mississauga

Do you need to use your Canadian document in a foreign country? Before a document can be legally accepted abroad, it often needs to go through authentication by Global Affairs Canada and then legalization by the foreign embassy or consulate.

At Notary Lawyer Mississauga, we specialize in helping clients in Mississauga and across Ontario complete the authentication and legalization process efficiently. Whether it’s for immigration, business, or international marriage, we ensure your documents are processed correctly and promptly.

What is Authentication and Legalization?

Authentication and Legalization is Canada’s equivalent of an apostille, which is not currently issued by Canada. Instead, your document must go through two steps:

  1. Authentication – Confirmed by Global Affairs Canada (GAC) in Ottawa.
  2. Legalization – Certified by the embassy or consulate of the country where the document will be used.

This two-step process confirms the legitimacy of your document so that it will be legally recognized in another country.
