The Legalization Center provides an apostille for almost all types of documents issued in Canada. Since 2024, Canada no longer requires superlegalization but an apostille.
The apostille is mostly issued on the original document, which is why a subsequent official translation is often required. The price of the translation is usually 30 EUR / standard page.
Price: 700 EUR

Specifics for individual documents
Educational Documents
In the case of diplomas, certificates, and other documents regarding education acquired in Canada, a notarized copy is usually apostilled. It is sufficient to deliver the original document to us; we will subsequently arrange for its certified copy by a notary in Canada, followed by the Apostille.
Powers of Attorney from a Notary
The original document itself is apostilled directly. In Canada, it is only possible to apostille documents that are in English or French. If you have a power of attorney or another document in a different language, it must be translated beforehand by an official Canadian translator. We can also arrange translations within Canada.
