New Brunswick: apostille and legalization for documents issued there
Apostilled by Global Affairs Canada
New Brunswick has no provincial competent authority, so its documents are apostilled by Global Affairs Canada. Documents issued in French here need no translation for a francophone destination, which shortens the chain by a step.
Clients in Moncton, Saint John and Fredericton send their documents to our Montreal office by courier, and get them back the same way.
Which authority issues the apostille
No separate competent authority has been designated here, so documents issued in this jurisdiction are apostilled by Global Affairs Canada in Ottawa. The certificate is identical to a provincially issued one; the difference is a courier leg and the federal queue.
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 Service New Brunswick
- Diplomas and transcripts from New Brunswick institutions
- Documents notarized by a New Brunswick lawyer or notary public
- Judgments of the New Brunswick 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.
