Retention of Belgium Citizenship - Vancouver Notary and Apostille Services

If you are trying to retain citizenship, studying, teaching, working, investing, or doing business in Belgium, there's a very good chance you'll be asked to provide your Canadian documentation to the Belgium authorities, or to your personal contacts there. Before your Canadian documents will be accepted as valid in Belgium, they must go through a special process called authentication and legalization. In other countries, this process is often referred to as Apostille. In Canada, getting your document authenticated and legalized is the legal equivalent of getting an Apostille. The entire process centers on signature and document verification. Because each country, and each different type of document, has specific requirements, the process can get very complicated. 

Brosgall Legal | Notary Services specializes in this process, and we would be pleased to assist. While getting an authentication and legalization done in Canada can be very complex, we've simplified the process for our clients. All you need to do is bring us your original documentation, and we take it from there. Along with regular updates, we provide you with the fully authenticated and legalized documents upon completion. For further information or to discuss getting your documents authenticated and legalized with Brosgall Legal, please send us an email or call us at 604-685-ADAM [2326].
