The United States has been a Hague Apostille member since 1981. In practice, many US institutions accept Canadian documents without requiring an Apostille at all, but some, particularly courts, universities, and government agencies, do ask for one.
Ask the specific US institution requesting your document whether they need a full Apostille or simply a notarized copy; it varies by state and by institution, and we can help you figure out which applies.
Requirements can change and individual institutions sometimes ask for more than the standard Apostille. We'll confirm current requirements with you before we submit anything.
Every document type is different, and so is every fee: the cost depends on the type and number of documents you need Apostilled, not a flat rate. Contact us below with your document details for an accurate estimate.
The United States has recognized Apostilles since October 15, 1981, per the Hague Conference's official status table, one of the earliest ratifications of the Convention.
In practice, many US institutions accept Canadian documents as-is, but courts, universities, and some government agencies specifically require an Apostille. It's worth confirming with the receiving institution first; if they do require one, the process is straightforward since both countries have been long-standing members.
