Birth Certificate Authentication and Legalization Services
Birth certificates are one of the most important identification documents. Several legal applications require applicants to either attach a copy of their birth certificates or temporarily submit the original document. For young children and minors, these are often the only identification documents, containing their legal name, birthplace and date, and the names of their parents or legal guardians. Thus, birth certificates are essential for their applications as these are the valid form of ID they possess.
For individuals moving from Canada, birth certificate authentication is a necessary step. The authenticated document is used to confirm the details mentioned on the certificate as genuine and prove its validity to the relevant non-Canadian authorities. Since birth certificates are non-educational documents, the attestation process involved is slightly different than that of legalizing educational or other personal documents. For this, you typically need to present:
- An original copy of your birth certificate
- Copies of parents’ national identity cards & passports
- A copy of your visa
- An authorization letter requesting the authentication of the birth certificate
- Passport-sized photographs
These documents are then submitted to different Canadian and non-Canadian authorities to verify the details.
If you want to avoid the constant back and forth involved in dealing with government authorities, you should hire a professional document legalization service to do it for you. This is where our team comes in.
