Services formally authenticates legalized documents
requested by foreign consulates and embassies. We
authenticate notarized or commissioned:
- birth, adoption,
marriage or divorce certificates;
- property ownership
documents;
- school, college, or
university admission papers and transcripts;
- business, commercial
import-export documents and contracts dealing with
incorporation, partnerships, product standards and
distribution, fiscal matters, approval certificates for
customs, etc.;
- other Ontario
government official documents.
The authentication of
seals, stamps and signatures of notaries, and commissioners validates documents and ensures the recognition of
the documents across the province of Ontario, Canada, and
internationally. Foreign consulates and embassies request
our certificates of authentication in order to accept the
validity of various documents.
The mandate is to
verify the document submitted by comparing the signature and
seal/stamp (as applicable) on the document against the
information on file pertaining to the notary public/
commissioner for taking affidavits.
Authentication will only
proceed if:
- all parts of the name,
seal and/or stamp of the notary or commissioner are
complete;
- the name, seal and/or
stamp is identical to what ODS has on file; or,
- the notary public or
commissioner for taking affidavits is registered on file
with ODS.
