Alberta: apostille and legalization for documents issued there

We are based in Montreal and work across Canada. Documents arrive by courier and go back the same way.

Which authority issues the apostille

This jurisdiction is its own competent authority. Documents issued or notarized here are apostilled by the Alberta Ministry of Justice rather than by Global Affairs Canada, so the file never leaves the province.

Alberta acts as its own competent authority, so documents issued in the province are apostilled provincially. A great many Alberta files are employment-related and headed for the Gulf, which means the apostille is followed by consular legalization for destinations still outside the Convention.

Competent authorities are set by government and can change. We confirm which one applies to your file in writing before anything is filed.

Documents issued here

The provincial and territorial records we handle most often. Federal documents (RCMP certificates, immigration papers, federal incorporations) always go to Global Affairs Canada, whichever province you are in.

Birth, marriage and death certificates from Alberta Vital Statistics
Diplomas and transcripts from Alberta universities and colleges
Documents notarized by an Alberta lawyer or notary public
Judgments of the Alberta courts
Corporate registry documents

Then the destination decides the rest

The apostille answers only half the question. Whether a consular stage follows it depends on the country the document is going to.
