WHAT IS AN APOSTILLE?
In countries, such as Canada, that are party to the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents, an Apostille is used to legalize documents that are to be used in foreign countries. This ensures that documents will be recognized as legitimate. If a country is not party to the Hague Convention, the chain method of authentication and consular legalization is used.
WHAT IS AUTHENTICATION AND LEGALIZATION?
Documents that are to be used in countries that are not party to the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents, the authentication chain method is used which eventually includes legalization by the appropriate consulate of the country of intended use.
