Certify documents issued #UCA# abroad for official use in Canada
Isarey works across multiple jurisdictions to legalize international documents so that they are valid for submission to Canadian authorities.
We legalize all types of official documents for use in Canada, including identity documents, birth and marriage certificates, criminal record certificates, academic diplomas and corporate documents.
We work locally with certification specialists, notaries, law firms and certifiedEnglish and Frenchtranslators in over 100 countries, certifying documents for use in Canada, including documents issued in:
Canada is a signatory to the Hague Apostille Convention. This means that official documents issued in other signatory countries can be certified by an Apostille Stamp in the country where they have been issued. This stamp will generally be accepted directly by Canadian authorities as confirmation of the document’s authenticity without need for further certification in Canada.
However, documents from non-Apostille countries must be legalized by the authorities of the issuing country and then attested by the local Canadian embassy or consulate. This applies to documents in countries such as: United Arab Emirates - Taiwan - Malaysia - Thailand - Qatar

Isarey also certifies documents issued in Canada for use abroad, including Canadian birth, death and marriage certificates, diplomas and criminal record certificates. For further information, please see:

It is important to ensure that the certified translation is valid for use in Canada. Translations not done in Canada may require separate legalization alongside the original document.
