Fast, reliable apostille and authentication for documents used abroad, handled start to finish.
Sometimes an Apostille (or if an Apostille is not appropriate, Authentication) is needed for a document to be used in another country. The Apostille is a certificate issued by either the British Columbia government or by Canada.
What Documents Need an Apostille?
Many types of documents might need this, for example: deeds to transfer land, powers of attorney, transfer or surrender of timeshares, government registrations (eg motor vehicle), pension or insurance documents.
Most of the time, the documents need to be notarized before they can be submitted for an Apostille; that certificate formalizes the notarization or the document itself where that is not required.
Apostille Services for Any Country.
Leonard has obtained an Apostille for documents to be used in many different countries, for example in many parts of the USA, many countries in Europe (Spain, Italy, Portugal, Ukraine, Serbia etc), South America (Argentina, Colombia), Australia, and South Africa.
How Long Does an Apostille Take?
After your meeting with him, Leonard can arrange for the application to the government office for the Apostille. There is an additional cost for this service which will depend on how many documents are involved, which government office the Apostille needs to be obtained from, and shipping costs. Although your meeting with Leonard can happen very quickly, obtaining an Apostille will require additional time; the turnaround can be as little as a few days or as much as 6–7 weeks, depending on where the certificate is to be issued, how busy that government department is, and shipping times. Apart from medical emergencies, there is no rush service available at the government offices.
