Buying or selling an overseas property isn’t the same as dealing locally. When you buy or sell foreign property, either by signing the paperwork yourself, or by using a power of attorney, the documentation must always be authenticated and legalized in Canada.
Authenticating and legalizing a document is the Canadian equivalent of obtaining an Apostille. At the most basic level, the authentication and legalization process (or getting an Apostille) validates a local document so it can be used in another country. However, each document is unique, and every country has specific requirements, so the process can get very complicated. Many of our private and corporate clients remark how confusing and stressful it was when they tried to handle the process themselves. This is especially true with expensive foreign property transactions and powers of attorney – there is no room for error.
That’s where Vancouver Apostille comes in – we specialize in international document processing. We have years of experience working with the Canadian authorities, as well as the many foreign consulates and embassies in Vancouver, Toronto and Ottawa. We navigate the complex and bureaucratic authentication and legalization process on your behalf.
Vancouver Apostille makes it easy – simply visit our downtown office to sign your foreign conveyance paperwork or international power of attorney, and we handle everything else. You just sit back, while we authenticate and legalize your documentation to make it legal and valid in your country. No confusion, no stress.
