How do I authenticate a Birth Certificate in Canada?

For the use of the Birth Certificate out of Canada, there are processes to be followed in order this government document to be recognized by the country where it will be used. For this reason, we advise you to have a long format Birth certificate under your hand since the Global Affairs Canada/Ottawa does not stamp the Birth certificate small format (Wallet size). This is the appropriate way to save time and get the document Apostilled, authenticated and legalized by the embassy or consulate of the country where the birth certificate will be used. Prior to this step, the copy of the birth certificate must be notarized by a lawyer or notary public so as to be authenticated/Apostilled by the Department of Foreign Affairs Ottawa/ the Global Affairs Canada JLAC- Authentication Services Section.

For any more details and information, you may call one of our specialized agent in apostille/Legalization and authentication to assist you and provide you with the prompt and precise information you may need because some countries do not accept the Canadian birth certificate if it is Not Apostilled/Authenticated and legalized,  for this reason we highly advise you to contact us to save your  time, energy and money in order that your document will be valid , accepted and recognized in another jurisdiction to avoid not being accepted.

For anyone who is out of the country , it’s better that you request your Canadian birth certificate through the government web (Vital Statistics Agency ) site and provide our office mail address of Ottawa or Gatineau and the birth certificate will be sent to us directly to save time and shipping money and consequently the Canadian document will be authenticated and certified/legalized and shipped back to you with the respect of the timing.
