    Thank you for your great service!

    ★★★★★
    I am very impressed with the fast and professional service I received from LSC Canada. I needed to notarize and obtain an Apostille for the POA document to be used in Serbia. And even though I live in Vancouver, and the LSC Canada is headquartered in Ottawa, the phone and email correspondence was excellent and enabled me to obtain the Apostille much faster than if I tried to do it myself. Their efficient service saved me weeks of wait time. I highly recommend Adil and his team at LSC for all your document notarization, authentication, and Apostille needs. Thank you for your great service!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What Should I Do if My Documents for Use Internationally Are Declined?

    If your attempt to authenticate or legalize a document is unsuccessful, we can assist you in resolving any issues that may occur. Sometimes, a refusal from the Egyptian embassy is due to missing stamps or translations that do not comply with the requirements. We will resolve these concerns in a short time. After completing the necessary corrections, we evaluate whether or not the document has been appropriately validated by Global Affairs Canada and attested by the embassy.

    From the initial inspection to the very last attestation of your documents, we maintain efficiency throughout the entire process. The requirements may be altered by either the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Egyptian Embassy. Despite this, we will keep you updated and make sure that all of your details have been validated appropriately and are prepared to be delivered to their intended location.

    How Should I Prepare My Documents for a Legalization and Authentication Request?

    Make sure that all of the documents you have pertaining to Egypt are in compliance with all of the standards before you begin any authentication or legalization requests. An example of this would be the provision of a certified translation in the event that it is necessary. Additionally, determine whether or not an endorsement from the Egyptian embassy is required in Canada and verify that each signature is accurate.

    Please confirm that each document must be validated and aligned with the authentication requirements of the Egypt embassy and Global Affairs Canada in order to avoid any delays that may be caused. The process can be made more efficient by ensuring that the documentation you have been provided in Canada is in order. 

    What is the Usual Processing Time for the Document Legalization and Authentication Process?

    There is no set time frame. There are instances when the process is finished in a single day by the Egyptian embassy, while there are other times when it takes several weeks. It is necessary for the Ministry of Global Affairs of Canada to issue an authenticity certificate before the Egyptian embassy or consulate accepts the document for attestation procedures.

    After all of the procedures have been completed, your Egyptian status has been determined, and the Egyptian embassy has verified the legitimacy of your documents, they are considered to be completely acceptable in other countries. Attestation of Egyptian certificates in this manner assures that they are accepted without any problems in all areas of business, education, and other governmental affairs. 

    Should I Translate My Document Before It is Legalized?

    If your document is not written in English or French, you need to get it translated by a professional who has confirmed it. An official transcript or diploma that has been translated and sealed from any Canadian source must first be recognized by Global Affairs Canada and then approved by the Egyptian Embassy. Verifying language requirements prior to submission can prevent rejections or delays. 

    What Factors Should You Consider When Requesting Authentication and Legalization?

    It is important to determine whether the country of destination, such as Egypt, is a signatory to the Apostille Act. If the answer is yes, then an apostille will lessen the burden; if the answer is no, a more complicated legalization process ensues. When conducting diplomatic operations, it is important to verify both your signatures and the legality of Egyptian credentials.

    Clarity can be achieved by adhering to the standards provided by the Egyptian Embassy. To ensure that there are no unforeseen complications, it is recommended that the documents must be checked by both the Egypt embassy in Ottawa and the Global Affairs department. To effectively legalize your papers, you will need to keep track of the requirements, manage the timelines, and implement the policies.
