Apostille, Authentication and Legalization Services for Your Canada Criminal Record Check
To make your police clearance certificate acceptable and valid in other countries, you will require our apostille, authentication and legalization services. You may also need our translation services.
Apostille
Issuing Authority: The certificate is issued by the Ministry of Global Affairs, Canada.
Authentication: This process verifies the authenticity of federal documents, such as the RCMP Police Clearance Certificate (PCC).
Hague Apostille Convention: As of January 2024, Canada is a member of the Hague Convention. This membership:
- Ensures the validity of your criminal record check in Hague Apostille member countries.
- Confirms the authenticity and legal standing of the RCMP check.
Authentication & Legalization
For destination countries that are not members of the Hague Apostille Convention, the following steps are necessary:
Authentication: Conducted by the Ministry of Global Affairs in Canada.
Legalization: Performed by the Embassy of your destination country in Canada.
Purpose: These steps confirm the document's validity for use in foreign nations.
