Applicants must carefully select the document category that corresponds to their application before submitting their application.
All application forms must be filled out online, then printed and signed before being included in the file.
Supporting documents must be valid, complete, and clearly legible at the time of submission.
Incomplete applications will be rejected, and the High Commission reserves the right to request additional information or supporting documents where necessary.
Applicants should also be aware that legalisation applications may be submitted by mail or through the post office. Applicants are not required to be physically present to drop off their documents.
Applicants for legalisation who currently hold Canadian nationality must provide all of the documents listed below, with the exception of the consular card or proof of payment for the consular card. However, they must have their handwritten application letter and power of attorney notarised by a Commissioner of Oaths located closest to their place of residence.
