Ontario Simplifying Process to Authenticate Official Documents Such as Birth Certificates Required for Internal Use

Kaleed Rasheed, Minister of Public and Business Service Delivery, announced that our government is making it easier and more convenient for people and businesses to authenticate documents such as birth certificates, corporate powers of attorneys and diplomas for use outside of Canada.

We are expanding this vital service to four additional ServiceOntario locations across the province and ensuring that these services are provided to Ontarians at a location convenient to them.

In-person document authentication services are now available in:

• Ottawa: 110 Laurier Avenue West
• Sault Ste. Marie: 101-420 Queen Street East
• Thunder Bay: 113-435 James Street South
• Windsor: 205-400 City Hall Square East

Ontarians may use the online document authentication portal to check if their document is eligible for authentication at a designated in-person location or by mail before proceeding.
