If you are trying to retain citizenship, studying, teaching, working, investing, or doing business in Belgium, there's a very good chance you'll be asked to provide your Canadian documentation to the Belgium authorities. Before your Canadian documents will be accepted as valid in Belgium, they must go through a special process called Apostille certification. Apostilles confirm signatures and verify documents. But because each country, and each different type of document has specific requirements, the process is complicated. Please see a sample Apositlle certificate attached below.
Brosgall Legal | Apostille Services specializes in this process, and we would be pleased to assist. We've simplified the whole Apostille process for our clients. All you need to do is bring us your original documentation, and we take it from there. For further information or to discuss getting your documents Apostilled with Brosgall Legal, please send us an email or call us at 604-685-2326.
How does Brosgall Legal Authentication & Legalization service typically work?
- if a French, German or Dutch translation is required, we arrange for certified translations.
- we prepare and affix our notarial certificate to your documentation, and apply our signature and gold notarial seal.
- Brosgall Legal then deals with the BC Ministry of Attorney General to obtain the Apostille certification on your behalf.
