Affidavit Certificate Authentication & Legalization In Canada

Are you planning on some activities in a foreign country and have been told to authenticate and legalize an affidavit for use outside of Canada? In the simplest terms, an affidavit is a letter in which you attest that you are who you claim to be and that you are eligible for something. This sworn written statement made under oath is then verified by a notary public.

The acceptance of an affidavit in any form by one society does not confirm its acceptance as a legal document in other jurisdictions. In order to be valid in a foreign country, an affidavit has to be authenticated by Global Affairs Canada and legalized in the embassy of the target country. See our FAQ section below for more information on the affidavit apostille, authentication, and legalization.

  • A commencement which identifies the “affiant of truth”, generally stating that everything in it is true, under penalty of perjury, fine, or imprisonment.
  • An attestation clause, usually a jurat, at the end certifying the affiant made oath and the date.
  • Signatures of the author and witness.
  • Global Affairs Canada authenticates only Canadian signatures and bears no responsibility for the contents of the authenticated documents.
  • Copies of the original documents must be certified true copies, that are signed and sealed by a Canadian notary.
  • Documents issued in a foreign language must be translated by a certified Canadian translator into English or French and notarized by a Canadian notary before they can be processed.

Documents that cannot be authenticated include:
  • Unknown seals or signatures which cannot be verified.
  • Religious documents (for example baptismal certificates, religious marriage certificates, or documents issued by a religious institution).
  • Documents that are glued, laminated, or covered with any substance that would make it difficult to place a stamp on the document.
