Türkiye: apostille and legalization from Canada

Türkiye is a party to the Apostille Convention, so the chain ends with the Canadian apostille. Most files are civil-status documents for a registry entry, or powers of attorney letting someone act on property or a company matter in Istanbul or Ankara.

The route your document takes

Four stations. Which of them your file actually passes through depends on this destination and on the document itself.

Apostille only.

The Hague Apostille Convention applies to this destination (Türkiye). A single apostille from the Canadian competent authority is enough, with no embassy stage.

Translation Certified translation into the language your destination requires. Depends on your document
Notarization A notary or commissioner certifies the copy, the signature or the translator's affidavit. Depends on your document
Apostille The competent Canadian authority issues the apostille certificate. Always
Legalization Embassy or consular stamp, for destinations outside the Hague Convention. Not required

This is a preliminary route, not a legal opinion. Convention membership and embassy requirements change; we confirm the exact chain for your file in writing before any work starts.

Worth knowing

A Turkish notary or registry will usually want a sworn translation produced in Türkiye rather than here. Confirm which they accept before paying for one twice.
