In Canada, an Apostille is not issued because Canada is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. However, if you require an Apostille Certificate of Good Standing for use in countries that recognise Apostilles, you will need to obtain a Certificate of Good Standing first and then have it authenticated and legalised through the appropriate channels. This process involves authentication by Global Affairs Canada followed by legalisation at the embassy or consulate of the destination country. Our service will complete this process for you.
