At Apostille, Inc., we take the guesswork out of legalizing and attesting your documents for Canada. Our trained and knowledgeable staff are available Monday-Saturday from 9am to 6pm to answer your questions and provide you easy to follow step-by-step instructions. We provide expedited US legalization services ensuring that your documents will be completed quickly.
Canada is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention (Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents). Documents originating from the USA and destined for this country requires several steps to complete. These steps are necessary in order for the country of Canada to accept your documents.
For the FBI background check, it’s a two-step process. Here is an illustration to help explain the process:
If you receive your FBI background check in a digital format (PDF copy), go ahead and e-mail it to us with the completed order form and payment (see below). If you receive your FBI background by regular mail (Hard copy), go ahead and mail it to our Washington DC apostille office with our order forms (see below). We can process a digital PDF copy or a hard copy. It’s your choice.
Please contact our office so we can recommend an FBI Channeler to help expedite the process of obtaining the FBI background check. Note: The FBI Channeler will help you obtain the FBI background check and we will help you certify and legalize it through the US Department of State and the Canada Embassy.
