The authentication and legalization of court documents can be tricky and it is recommended that one use an authentication and legalization service provider. Because of this, it begs the question: are all court documents issued correctly in Canada for the purpose of being Authenticated and Legalized (Apostille) for use in a foreign country?
The quickest and simplest answer is a resounding “NO“.
Generally speaking, court documents are issued correctly as they pertain to the specific court rules in the jurisdiction in which they are issued. However, the court document(s) in question might require some additional steps before they are suitable for authentication with Global Affairs Canada and then legalized by the particular diplomatic mission. The authentication and legalization process is often referred to a Apostille.
