Everything below is transcribed from this office's own published sources and printed in its words. A value we could not confirm against an official page is marked "(unverified)" — but the absence of that marker is not a guarantee that a fact was checked, and the source's own doubts stay inside the notes reproduced here verbatim. Confirm fees, addresses and deadlines with the office before you send documents or money.

- **Jurisdiction:** Saskatchewan, Canada
- **Verified as of:** August 9, 2026

## Who issues the apostille

Ministry of Justice and Attorney General of Saskatchewan — Authentication Services, Regina

Covers Saskatchewan-issued public documents only: original SK vital statistics certificates; original diplomas from University of Saskatchewan / University of Regina; original SK court documents signed by a court official; documents notarized by a Saskatchewan notary public or lawyer (incl. notarized criminal record checks, corporate registry documents, education documents). Cannot authenticate foreign documents. HCCH lists suite "1010-1855 Victoria Avenue" and phone 306-787-5972; official site shows 101 and 306-787-3277

## Which documents this office will accept

- **Wet ink:** The document must carry an original, hand-signed signature (and seal where one applies). An electronically notarized document — what a remote online notarization produces — cannot satisfy that, so a RON notarization cannot feed this paper chain.
- **From the source:** Documents must bear "original (wet ink) signature and stamp"; must be notarized by a SK notary/lawyer unless original vital statistics certificate, U of S / U of R diploma, or court document signed by a court official. Authentication Services does not provide notary services

## Certifications you may need first

No additional certification step is required before the apostille.

## The request form

The request form is not published online — confirm with the office whether it wants a form, and which one, before you send anything.

## Requesting online

There is no online request route — this office takes requests on paper. No online submission (mail/courier or drop-off only)

## Where to go in person

- **Regina** — 101 – 1855 Victoria Avenue, Regina SK S4P 3T2 Documents are dropped off here. Hours: Mon–Fri 8 a.m.–4 p.m. including lunch hour In-person service is for document drop-off and pickup only (no while-you-wait)

## What it costs

- **$50.00 CAD** per apostille — "The processing fee for authentication is $50.00 per Apostille certificate or per signatory" (site also phrases it "$50 per certificate issued, signatory listed, or package that is required")

## How to pay

- **By mail:** cheque or money order
- **In person:** card payment
- **Make it payable to:** Minister of Finance — copy that exactly as written.
- In person: credit or debit; by phone: credit card; by mail: cheque or money order payable to "Minister of Finance." Cash not accepted. (The by-phone credit-card channel has no byChannel slot — recorded here.)

## Checking status and verifying an apostille

- **Verification register:** https://apostille-gac.powerappsportals.com/en/eregister-eregistre/ — SK apostilles verifiable via the shared GAC tool

## Remote online notarization

- A grey area: no statute authorizes remote notarization, and none prohibits it.
- **How the signer is identified:** None prescribed by statute; Law Society of Saskatchewan client-verification rules for lawyers (photo ID; virtual verification methods). No KBA
- No maximum fee is recorded here for a remote act. A missing cap is not the same as "no cap" — the reason is in the notes below.
- **From the source:** No express provision in The Commissioners for Oaths and Notaries Public Act, 2012 for remote commissioning; COVID-era (2020) court/Ministry guidance permitted remote commissioning of affidavits — current status of that guidance unverified (no active remote-commissioning directive found on sasklawcourts.ca or saskatchewan.ca as of Aug 2026). Practical constraint: SK Authentication Services requires "original (wet ink) signature and stamp" on documents submitted for apostille — remotely signed/e-signed notarizations are effectively unusable for SK apostilles. Who can do it: commissioners for oaths and notaries public (lawyers are ex officio); acceptance depends on the receiving authority (unverified beyond COVID-era practice). Fee rules: no statutory cap found (unverified — no fee tariff located in the Act/regulations). Act citation: The Commissioners for Oaths and Notaries Public Act, 2012, SS 2012, c C-16.001 (no remote provision) (unverified — text not directly fetched)

## Other things the source says

Request form: no dedicated web form found on saskatchewan.ca; requests by cover letter/contact — (unverified whether a PDF request form exists)
