Alberta Notary Services FAQ 4

"Alberta, Canada Notary Question: Can you use notarized documents outside Canada? Answer: For notarized documents to be used outside of Canada, you may have to take the additional step of having the notarization authenticated. Authentication may be required because foreign countries do not necessarily recognize the status of Canadian notaries. The process of authentication is basically a government's recognition of the credentials of a notary. This can be done through the Government of Alberta's Department of Justice located at: Official Documents and Appointments Room 111, 9833 - 109 Street Edmonton, Alberta T5K 2E8 (780) 427-5981 Another alternative is to have the notarized documents authenticated through the federal Department of Foreign Affairs in Ottawa.
