I had an excellent experience with GDS. My contact was Pegi and she was extremely professional, helpful, and patient with my requests. I used their service to help with obtaining a document in Canada and having it authenticated with an Apostille stamp and then shipping it overseas. The entire process was smooth, clear, and easy to follow. I definitely recommend them!

The team at Global followed up accurately and timely each time some new twist came up. Ms P Croome was a real help, offering valuable advice even before my first payment.

I am already using them for more documentation required on my Spanish Visa application. I can recommend GDS to anyone needing apostille services.

I can’t speak highly enough of the service I received from Joe and the team and GDS. I had so many questions, difficulties navigating the Canada Post strike and at every turn Joe was there to help me out. I hope I never need to apostille this many documents again, but if I do, I know who I can trust to get it down professionally and quickly. Bonus points for great communication and updates along the way.

I had a couple of documents which required certificates of apostille. After numerous inquiries around the city where I live, I couldn't find anyone knowledgeable enough to help me out. Then I came across GDS. Problem solved. They were courteous and professional and handled it from start to finish. I was given an accurate time frame and was able to track the process every step of the way. They gave me the fee up front with no hidden costs and while I won't say they are cheap, they are fair. They saved me a lot of time and aggravation, and to put it in perspective, my daughter recently paid more for one ticket to a Beyonce concert. If ever I have need of such services again, I won't look around, I'll just go straight to GDS. Highly recommend. Chris Dube

I made a mistake and booked my travels before getting my VISA paperwork sorted and got nervous that I would not have time to receive them before I left. I was ready to deal with the consequences of my mistake, but then I found GDS. They were speedy, prompt, patient with my questions, servicial and immaculately professional. I also had a tracking tool where I could see how my paperwork was progressing, and a dedicated legal clerk who would promply answer my emails. The price is not only worth it but absolutely accurately apparaised for the service, quality of work and professionalism. Cannot recommend them enough if you are in a bind with papers.

Pegi is incredibly supportive, professional and knowledgeable, she is an absolute gem. When I was faced with an incompetent notary who had no clue as to how to handle important international documents, Pegi was there to help guide me (and her) through the process. I cannot recommend her and Global Document Solutions highly enough!

Working with Pegi made the entire attestation process so much easier. She was professional, responsive, and always ready to clarify every step. What seemed like a complicated and stressful process turned out to be smooth and efficient. Thanks to her guidance, I received my UAE equivalency smoothly and much faster than expected. Highly recommended for anyone needing reliable and knowledgeable support with document attestation!
