The first step is always a notarization - this takes the form of either a certified true copy, or the witnessing of your signature. Once we notarize your document, our signature and notarial seal will then be apostilled for the document to be accepted by the foreign country. Once completed, your document becomes legal and valid for use overseas.
It is the internationally accepted way of providing a guarantee regarding the authenticity of a document. Under the Hague Apostille Convention, an apostille is a prescribed certificate attached to your document. Between two countries who have both signed the Hague Apostille Convention, the apostille certificate immediately validates your document for use in the destination country.
Historically (pre-1961), all documents notarized by lawyers or notaries around the world for use in other countries had to go through the authentication and legalization process. Then in 1961, many countries signed the The Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents. This enabled two signatory countries to take advantage of a shortcut, which they called an 'Apostille'.
The types of documents that we apostille are endless. Most commonly, Vancouver Apostille processes powers of attorney, notarizations, ID, certified true copies, BC incorporation documentation, BC birth certificates, Canadian passports, RCMP certificates, BC death certificates for foreign probate cases, diplomas, degrees, and transcripts.
Vancouver Apostille provides apostille services for all of these documents, and more. We have years of experience working with BC and Canadian government authorities. We navigate the complex and bureaucratic apostille process on your behalf, ensuring that your documents will be legal and valid for use overseas - guaranteed!
