Canadian documents or Powers of Attorney must first be 'apostilled' for use in Mexico. Vancouver Apostille handles everything to get your apostille successfully completed.

Canadian documents or Powers of Attorney being sent to Mexico must first be 'apostilled' for use in Mexico. If you are buying or selling property in Mexico, you may have heard of the term 'apostille'. Our clients typically need this service for their powers of attorney, birth certificates, real estate transfers, and academic records and diplomas. Getting this apostille certificate can be a complicated process, and that's where we come in... Vancouver Apostille handles absolutely everything you need to get your apostille successfully completed. The apostille process we do for you is the only way that your documentation can be validated for use in Mexico. This article explains that process - and how Vancouver Apostille can assist.

MEXICAN APOSTILLES DONE BY A LOCAL VANCOUVER NOTARY

Vancouver Apostille is proudly local - not a national or out-of-province business that attempts to match you up with a contracting notary in Vancouver. So you always deal directly with us. If you have any questions, or want to book an appointment, please send us an email or call us at 604-685-2326.  

APOSTILLE PROCESS

The process for notarization and apostilling documents for use in Mexico can be very complicated. Any notarized document must be apostilled by the BC Attorney General. Vancouver Apostille would be pleased to assist you with all of your Mexican apostille requirements. Whether you are currently in Mexico or in Vancouver... if you need us to handle everything on your behalf, or if you just have some questions that need answering, we can help.

Here are the services we provide on a typical file:

  1. We accept original documents at our law firm in downtown Vancouver. You can drop it off, or courier it to our office.
  2. If required, we have your documents translated by a BC certified translator.  
  3. We notarize your documentation (and certified translations, if any).
  4. We deliver all documentation (with tracking) to the Ministry of Attorney General (Order in Council Office) in Victoria, BC for apostille certification.
  5. We notify you as soon as the apostilled documentation is ready for pickup, or alternatively, we'll arrange for courier delivery to Mexico (with tracking). We usually use DHL for Mexico.
  6. We pay all disbursements on your behalf.
  7. We use state of the art document security methods. Our various security measures guard against fraud and tampering, but perhaps most importantly, our finished product looks quite impressive. In our experience, this results in foreign officials being more agreeable.

As you can see, Vancouver Apostille takes care of everything, plus we give you progress updates along the way. Best of all, once you retain us, you can sit back while we do all the work. We'll present you with your apostilled documentation, completely legal, valid, and ready for use in Mexico, all in the least amount of time possible. We'll notify you immediately upon completion, so that you can either pick up your document from our downtown Vancouver office, or upon request, we will deliver your documentation directly to you, or to a third party recipient in Mexico via international DHL courier. The bottom line? We take an otherwise complicated process, and simplify your life.
