How to Get Your Document Apostilled in Saskatchewan – A Guide

Since Canada officially became a part of the Hague Apostille Convention on 11 January 2024, the mandate to legalize foreign public documentation has been completely abolished for Hague Convention countries. This big step ensures that the public documents issued by Saskatchewan province officials will only require an apostille for authentication at other member countries of the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention. This step is uniformly implemented in all the cities of Saskatchewan province such as Saskatoon, Moose Jaw, and Regina.

It is important to note that the legalization of Saskatchewan-issued public documents is still a necessity in the rest of the countries which have not been included in the Apostille Convention officially. In this guide, we will learn about the requirements and steps involved in the Canada apostille process for Saskatchewan province.
