Always check to see if your document needs notary authentication and get it notarized in advance, to avoid the rejection of your case by Global Affairs Canada. This is why Globeia’s certified document authentication service starts with the careful preparation of your file.

Globeia Pro tip: Do check if a certified translation of your document is required. Usually, documents containing languages other than English and French need to be translated. A certified translation verifies the identity of the translation service and is an important requirement to get a Global Affairs Canada authentication.

The Actual Authentication

Global Affairs Canada is the governing body for the authentication of documents. Upon successful authentication, you will be issued a certificate confirming that the signatures on your document are recognized in Canada.

Legalization

Congratulations! The only step left now is the legalization of your document. For this, you will need to visit the embassy or consulate where you plan to use the document.

Globeia Pro tip: Check to see if your country of residence is a signatory of the Apostille Hague Convention. If yes, you will need to follow a slightly different process to get the Hague apostille stamp on your document.

Canadian Apostille Equivalent for Your Documents

Canadians will be able to get their documents apostilled from January 11, 2024. In the meantime, the lengthy authentication and legalization process will have to be followed for document verification. Additionally, notarization is also required in some cases as an extra step.

Completing the entire process can be a bit tedious for applicants in Portugal. Since you cannot come to Canada just to get your documents legalized, it’s best to get the help of a professional document processing company.

At Globeia, we take pride in helping our clients skip unnecessary delays when it comes to getting their documents authenticated and legalized for use in Portugal.
