Document Authentication & Legalization in London, Ontario
If you are sending Canadian documents to another country for a job, university application, or marriage abroad, they usually require Authentication and Legalization (or an Apostille). Our London, Ontario notaries are the crucial first step in this process, ensuring your documents are properly notarized before they are sent to Global Affairs Canada or the Ontario government.
The Apostille Process in Ontario
As of early 2024, Canada officially joined the Apostille Convention. This means the authentication process is now much faster for many countries. Our London notaries will notarize your documents (such as diplomas, criminal record checks, or birth certificates) so they meet the strict requirements of Official Documents Notary Service (ODS) in Ontario to receive an Apostille certificate.
Documents We Frequently Prepare for Authentication
Personal Documents
Police clearance checks, birth certificates, and marriage certificates needed for foreign visas or residency applications.
Corporate Documents
Articles of incorporation, certificates of origin, and commercial invoices for international trade.
