Nova Scotia: 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

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.

Nova Scotia documents are apostilled federally, by Global Affairs Canada. The province’s universities generate a steady flow of transcripts and degrees for graduates taking work abroad, and those files run the same chain as any other.

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.

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.
