What does the service involve?

For official documents issued in Kazakhstan to be recognized in Canada, they must undergo consular legalization. This is required because Canada does not recognize apostille, and the only way to confirm the authenticity of documents is through consular legalization.

The service includes:

Document verification for correctness
Before starting the process, specialists check documents for the presence of all required signatures, seals, and proper formatting.
Translation with notarization
Documents are translated into English or French and certified by a notary.
Certification by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan
Translated documents are submitted to the MFA to obtain official confirmation.
Submission to the Embassy of Canada
Prepared papers are sent to the Consular Section of Canada in Astana (Nur-Sultan) for the final stage of legalization.
Collection and delivery of documents
Once certified, the documents are returned to the client. Delivery within Kazakhstan is available.

The legalization service simplifies the recognition of Kazakhstani documents in Canada — whether for university admission, immigration, marriage, or starting a business.
