Our Latest Thoughts on Canadian Documents
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Might a Canadian Document Not Qualify for Apostille for Use in Turkey?
Only documents that bear the original signature or seal can be authenticated. Apostilles cannot be issued for photocopies or documents that do not meet these requirements. If the document’s seal or signature cannot be validated, Global Affairs Canada will not proceed with the authentication procedure.
Documents with glued or laminated surfaces cannot be stamped or apostilled. Documents containing chemicals that impede stamping cannot be apostilled.
Certificates issued by religious institutions, such as baptismal or marriage certificates, are not eligible for official document services or apostille certification. Only Canadian-issued documents are acceptable. Foreign documents cannot be authenticated or apostilled. An apostille with a certificate number cannot be issued to documents from institutions that are not formally recognized.
If Global Affairs Canada feels that a document will be used fraudulently or breaches policies, they may refuse to validate an apostille and submit the case to the authorities.
Do You Need to Notarize Canadian Documents Before Getting an Apostille?
Certain documents, including those issued by the Government of Canada, must first be notarized by a notary public before being authenticated by a competent authority. The appropriate authority for issuing apostilles is determined by the province or region where your document is notarized.
Notarizing your document can speed up the authentication and apostille procedure, reducing the time required for use in Türkiye. Our staff offers notarization services and collaborates with official notaries to help you through this process.
Do Documents Need Translation Before Authentication and Apostille for Turkey?
If your document is written in a language other than English or French, it must be properly translated by a certified translator who belongs to a recognized provincial translators organization.
Alternatively, you can work with a Canadian notary public who speaks English, French, and the document’s original language. The notary must attach a particular certification endorsement to guarantee that the translation meets the authentication and apostille standards.
The best approach for verifying documents in a different language is established on a per-case basis. Our team provides assistance to ensure that your documents meet all apostille requirements and are completely prepared for use in Turkey.
How Long Does It Take to Authenticate and Apostille Canadian Documents for Turkey?
As of late September 2024, the authentication branch of Global Affairs Canada processes apostille requests in 10 working days. Please anticipate an additional five business days for your documents to be shipped back.
Since January 11, 2024, the Hague Apostille Convention has enabled provincial authorities to validate documents issued in Canada. Processing times may vary by provincial office.
At the Legalization Service Centre (LSC), we understand the importance of having your apostilled documents promptly for usage in Turkey. With our knowledge and partnerships, we strive to streamline the process wherever possible, with a track record of securing an apostille certificate in only one business day.
Important Factors When Getting Canadian Documents Apostilled for Turkey
The cost of apostille services varies according to the type of document and where it was issued. Consult our specialists for the most current pricing and a request form. We specialize in authenticating documents for usage in Turkey and guaranteeing that they comply with all regulations.
Does an apostille verify the document’s content? No, an apostille certificate does not verify the contents of a document. It merely authenticates the signer’s authority and certifies the authenticity of the entity issuing the document, ensuring its recognition in Turkey.
An apostille certificate is necessary for nations that are signatories to the Hague Apostille Convention, including Turkey. Non-member countries continue to use the old authentication and legalization processes.
In Canada, governments such as Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, and Saskatchewan are authorized to grant apostille certificates.
An apostille certificate does not expire. However, the legal validity of the certified document may be subject to Turkish regulations. Always verify the exact rules for where your documents will be utilized. If necessary, our experts can assist you with submitting the required documents to Global Affairs Canada or other appropriate authorities.
