Following Canada’s ratification of the Hague Convention, as of January 11, 2024, a new authentication procedure known as the Apostille applies to public documents issued in Canada (such as vital records, legal and educational documents) for use in Italy. The Apostille replaces the legalization currently issued by the Italian consular network in Canada.
