Before a death certificate can be legalized it is important to make sure it is of the correct type and the one that Global Affairs Canada Authentication Services Section will be able to authenticate and that the embassy will be able to legalize. Document authentication proves that the signature, the position of an official and the seal on a certified document are genuine. The process of authentication and legalization is also called apostille or document attestation in some countries that will recognize an authenticated document as a valid copy.
Document Authentication Canada will assist you in ordering the death certificate from the relevant provincial authority and preparing any necessary supporting documents.
