The original divorce certificate must be authenticated by the Global Affairs/Ottawa without the notarization, however it’s possible to keep the document untouched and our office is able to notarize the copy of the divorce document by our lawyer or our notary public. Afterwards we take care of the authentication/Apostille by the Global Affairs Canada /JLAC-Authentication Services Section. And in case the document will be used out of Canada, the certification/Legalization by the embassy or consulate is requested. These steps are a must to be accepted by the jurisdiction in which the divorce certificate will be used as far as Canada is Not a member of the Hague Convention Treaty.
We advise our clients to communicate our mailing address when applying for a divorce certificate especially when you are out of Canada, and the document will be sent to our office in Ottawa without any delay and you will save time and money of shipping. Notarization, authentication, apostille and legalization are steps that for the use abroad.
