Former Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade of Canada
The Global Affairs Canada Authentication Sector (JLAC), previously known as Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade is a federal government authority responsible for authentication of documents originating from all Canadian provinces and that are intended to be used outside of Canada.
The GAC Authentication Sector is located in Ottawa, Ontario. The following documents can be authenticated by the Global Affairs Canada Authentication Sector:
The Global Affairs Canada Authentication Sector has certain rules and requirements for documents to be eligible for authentication process. Non-compliance with these requirements will result in rejection of the document authentication service. Please contact us to confirm that your documents are eligible.
In order to authenticate your Canadian documents by the Global Affairs Canada Authentication Sector just send them along with the completed and signed LSC Order Form to our office in Ottawa: LSC, 440 Laurier Ave., W., Suite 219, Ottawa, ON, K1R7X6. Enclose a prepaid return envelope or choose one of the return shipment options in the LSC Order Form. The standard service fee (3 business days) is $100cad for the first document and $25cad for each additional document. Taxes are extra.
Please note that for Canadian documents to take a legal effect in foreign countries, the authentication by the Global Affairs Canada Authentication Sector is not sufficient. It’s just a first step. The second step will be to get the documents legalized by the appropriate Embassy/Consulate of the country where the documents are intended to be used in.
If you need your documents to get legalized by the Embassy or Consulate in Canada, please let us know and we will help you with this process too.
