Translation for Use Outside Canada: Certified, Notarized, or ATIO?

If your document is going to an embassy, consulate, foreign registry, university, or authority outside Canada, the most important step is confirming the exact certification level they require. We can prepare the translation, notarization, and help you understand the authentication path, but the requirement must match the destination country.

  • Certified translation
  • Notarized translation
  • ATIO-certified translation

How to choose the right route

Regular certified translation

Use when the foreign recipient accepts a standard certified translation with affidavit.

Notarized translation

Use when the recipient or consulate specifically asks for notarization of the translator's affidavit.

ATIO-certified translation

Use when the receiving country or institution explicitly requests a certified translator in Ontario or ATIO-certified translator.

Authentication / legalization

Some countries also require authentication and legalization after translation. That is a separate step beyond the translation itself.

Frequently asked questions

Do you decide the certification type for me?

We can guide you, but the destination country or institution sets the requirement. The safest route is to confirm it with them first.

How much does it cost?

Certified translation starts at $59 + HST. Notarized and ATIO-certified routes usually start at $109 + HST.

What is authentication or legalization?

It is an extra document-validation process used by some countries after translation and notarization.

Can this take longer?

Yes. If notarization, authentication, or legalization is required, the full process can take significantly longer than a regular translation.
