Birth Certificate Authentication in
Canada
Canadian documents to be used outside of Canada are required to be authenticated and legalized or apostilled. Birth Certificate Authentication, as well as Marriage, Death, Divorce or Change of Name Certificates Authentication, is performed by the Canadian government authority such as Global Affairs Canada authentication sector. The purpose for the birth certificate authentication process is to make sure that the document is genuine and was legally obtained in Canada.
The same authentication process is required for the photocopies of the original documents. In this case, the photocopies need to be notarized by a Canadian notary public as certified true copies and then authenticated and legalized accordingly.
The Legalization Service Centre facilitates the Birth Certificate Authentication and Birth Certificate Apostille in Canada process. Since Canada is not a signatory of the Apostille Convention we make sure that the documents are properly handled, authenticated and legalized in Canada according to international laws and regulations.
