Understanding Global Affairs Canada Authentication Services

The Global Affairs Canada Authentication Services Section office in Ottawa is the only federal office in Canada that provides authentication of documents that is widely accepted by embassies. Although some provinces have authentication of document offices, their validation on a document may not be accepted by most embassy consulates. Foreign countries generally require the Global Affairs Canada authentication stamp before they will accept a document for legalization. In the rare case where a country does require a provincial authentication stamp, one of the experienced agents at Global Document Solutions can clarify this with clients during their consultation.
