Many of our clients use joint language documents such as a Power of Attorney. There are some additional steps that may need to be taken before a joint language Power of Attorney can be authenticated by Global Affairs and legalized by the Embassy of Mexico. For example, was the notary fluent in both languages? If not, the document will need to be translated by a certified translator and then notarized.

As an expert in the authentication and legalization process, our staff can guide you through the requirements so that your documents are processed correctly the first time.

There are a number of factors that have an impact upon the overall cost of having documents legalized at the Embassy of Mexico. For instance, the number of documents that you have, whether we can make an appointment to physically attend at the Embassy of Mexico or if return couriers are required. The legalization fee is currently in US funds and as a result the exchange rate needs to be taken into consideration along with the cost of obtaining the necessary money order.

It is recommended that you reach out to one of our expert staff who specializes in the Canadian apostille process as it relates to the Embassy of Mexico. We would be happy to discuss the authentication and legalization process. We would be more than happy to guide you through the requirements. At the same time, we would also be happy to provide you with an itemized breakdown of the anticipated fees.

There are many instances when it is more convenient for a client to have documents sent directly to our office as opposed to their receiving them first.  For example, government issued documents such as birth certificates can be sent directly to us.  We can receive them and start compiling a client dossier with the authentication and legalization component to commence once we have all of the documents.
