Federal — Global Affairs Canada附加证明书办理指南
该机关接受哪些文件
- 亲笔签名
文件须带有原始的亲笔签名（如适用，还须有印章）。
电子公证文件——即远程在线公证所生成的文件——无法满足此要求，因此远程在线公证不能用于这一纸质认证链。
- 副本
Plain photocopies refused. Vital statistics: notarized copies NOT accepted ("if you need a copy, it must be issued by the appropriate vital statistics office")
- 来源原文
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

远程在线公证
该机关签发附加证明书，但不委任公证员，因此在此层级不存在远程公证相关规则。相关规则属于该公证员所在的州或省。
