An apostille is a type of certification that gets added to your official document. This confirms where the public document comes from, so it can be used in countries that are part of the Hague Convention. What an apostille does is to make sure that the signature on a document is real.
In Ottawa, you can apostille numerous documents, including federal documents, Canadian Citizenship Certificates, RCMP-certified Criminal Record Checks, letters issued by the Government of Canada, vital documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, and death certificates from provinces excluding Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, and Saskatchewan, as well as notarized documents from provinces other than the aforementioned ones, and adoption documents.
Global Affairs, Canada in Ottawa is the authority that issues apostilles for Canadian documents that were notarized or issued in the provinces of Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, the Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, Prince Edward Island and Yukon. It is also the sole authority that issues apostille for Federal documents.
To get an apostille for a document in Ottawa, you first need to have the original or a certified copy of it. Then, if necessary, the authority that issued it must certify this.
The normal time to process an apostille for a document in Ottawa ranges from 3 to 4 months as the Ministry is extremely backlogged. The applications are processed in the order that they were received It's generally advisable to plan ahead and allow sufficient time for the apostille process.
Sometimes it is possible to expedite the apostille if it was issued or notarized in a province that has its own ministry to issue the apostille. Globeia values your time and will proactively share any options available to fast-track the process once we review the document.
The RCMP check results are categorized as a Federal document and the Ministry is the sole authority to issue the apostille on the original document. There is an option to have the notarized copy of the RCMP results apostilled from a Provincial Ministry to expedite the process but some countries may not accept this. It is recommended that you reconfirm with the authorities requesting the apostille and proceed accordingly.
