Saskatchewan: apostille and legalization for documents issued there
Own provincial apostille office
Saskatchewan is one of the five provinces that apostille their own documents. Files are commonly academic records and adoption or civil-status documents, and the provincial route avoids the federal queue entirely.
Clients in Saskatoon and Regina send their documents to our Montreal office by courier, and get them back the same way.
Which authority issues the apostille
This province is its own competent authority. Documents issued here, and documents notarized here wherever they were issued, are apostilled by the Ministry of Justice and Attorney General rather than by Global Affairs Canada, so the file never leaves the province.
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 Saskatchewan Vital Statistics
- Diplomas and transcripts from Saskatchewan institutions
- Documents notarized by a Saskatchewan lawyer or notary public
- Adoption orders and court judgments
- 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.
