Do you provide Authentication, Legalization, Apostille and Translation Services?
In order for your documents to be authenticated and legalized, they must be original. However, oftentimes for certain documents such as diplomas or birth certificates, for example, individuals may not prefer all these stamps on their original documentation. In this case, they must visit a notary public and obtain a true copy of the document which is stamped, signed, and dated by the lawyer themselves. Authentication can only occur once the document is notarized.
The second step, authentication, is when the Ministry of Global Affairs will issue authenticity of the document, and this is a vital step in order for legalization to occur. Please note that the document must be authenticated before it is legalized. The last step, legalization, is when a certificate of legalization is issued at the embassy of the country that you want to send the document to, in Canada. Globeia is readily available to assist you in making this a swift and easy process. Please visit the following link for more information.
