Understanding Apostille and Authentication Services in Toronto
Apostille and authentication services help make your documents valid for use in other countries. Our team in Toronto can guide you through the process step by step.
Definition and Purpose of Apostille
An apostille is a special certificate used to verify documents for international use. The Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery issues these in Ontario, Canada. This certificate confirms that a document has been signed by an official.
It makes the document valid in other countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention.
The purpose of using an apostille is to simplify document verification between countries. Instead of going through lengthy embassy legalization processes, we can use this single step to ensure our documents are accepted abroad.
The Apostille Process in Toronto
The process of getting an apostille in Toronto involves several steps. First, we must ensure your document is notarized, if notarization is required, and authenticated by the right authorities.
Step 1: Notarization
To start the apostille process, we first need to notarize your document, if required. A notary public checks and verifies that your signature on the document is real. This step ensures it is a true copy and can be trusted.
After notarization, we move to authentication by The Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery. Notarized documents must have a seal and signature from an official. This makes them valid for further steps in legalizing for international use.
Step 2: Apostille by the The Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery
The Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery examines the document to confirm it’s real. They check that the signature and seal on the notarized document are genuine. This step is important for documents used outside of Canada.
The process involves checking if a recognised official signed the document. It also makes sure that this official’s details match their records. Once authenticated, the document is ready to be used abroad.
