## Tko izdaje apostille

Global Affairs Canada, Authentication Services Section (JLAC)

HCCH listing: "Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development of Canada". Apostilles also available at some Canadian diplomatic/consular missions abroad. Covers: (a) documents issued by the Government of Canada (e.g., RCMP criminal record checks from RCMP headquarters, federal export permits, federal corporate documents); (b) documents issued or notarized in Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, Prince Edward Island, and Yukon (the 8 jurisdictions without their own competent authority). Canada acceded to the Apostille Convention effective January 11, 2024

## Koje dokumente ovaj ured prihvaća

- **Vlastoručni potpis:** Dokument mora sadržavati izvorni, vlastoručno stavljeni potpis (i pečat, gdje je primjenjivo). Elektronički ovjeren dokument — onaj koji nastaje udaljenom internetskom javnobilježničkom ovjerom — ne zadovoljava taj uvjet, pa ovjera putem RON-a ne može poslužiti za ovaj papirnati lanac.
- **Preslike:** Plain photocopies refused. Vital statistics: notarized copies NOT accepted ("if you need a copy, it must be issued by the appropriate vital statistics office")
- **provincial/territorial vital statistics birth/death/marriage certificates; divorce certificates signed by a court clerk; original university/college diplomas signed by registrar; RCMP HQ criminal record checks with Director General signature + dry seal; court documents with original seal/signature/judge's name:** No notarization needed
- **provincial/municipal police checks, bank documents, medical documents, school (K-12) diplomas, business records, private legal documents, etc.:** Notarization required
- **Iz izvora:** Document must bear "an original, recognized signature (and seal, if applicable)". Pocket-sized certificates and religious-institution documents refused. Laminated/glued documents refused. Non-English/French documents need a certified translation (member of a provincial translators' association) or notarized translator attestation; exceptions: diplomas in Greek/Latin, proof-of-life documents under half a page. Remote-notarization interplay: GAC requires original/wet-ink signatures and seals — remotely executed, purely electronic notarizations are generally unusable for apostille unless printed/wet-signed by the commissioner

## Udaljena internetska javnobilježnička ovjera

Ovo tijelo izdaje apostille, ali ne ovlašćuje osobe za obavljanje javnobilježničkih radnji, pa na ovoj razini ne postoje pravila o udaljenoj ovjeri. Ona pripadaju državi ili pokrajini u kojoj ta osoba ima takvo ovlaštenje.

> **RCW 42.45.230(5):** Nisam odvjetnik ovlašten za obavljanje pravne djelatnosti u ovoj saveznoj državi. Nije mi dopušteno sastavljati pravne isprave, davati savjete o pravnim pitanjima, uključujući imigracijska, niti naplaćivati naknadu za te aktivnosti.
