## Chi rilascia l'apostilla

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

## Quali documenti accetta questo ufficio

- **Firma autografa:** Il documento deve recare una firma originale, apposta a mano (e un timbro dove previsto). Un documento autenticato elettronicamente — ciò che produce una notarizzazione online a distanza — non soddisfa questo requisito; una notarizzazione RON non può quindi alimentare questa filiera cartacea.
- **Copie:** 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
- **Secondo la fonte:** 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

## Notarizzazione online a distanza

Questa autorità rilascia apostille ma non abilita alcun notaio, pertanto a questo livello non esistono regole sulla notarizzazione a distanza. Esse spettano allo stato o alla provincia in cui il notaio detiene l'incarico.
