Alberta Document Apostilles for Mexico
If your document was issued or signed in Alberta, the apostille comes from Alberta Ministry of Justice. We prepare the submission, follow it up and arrange the translation by a perito so you can file it in Mexico without leaving the country.
This is the office’s own timeline; international shipping and translation are on top of it.

What to know about Alberta
Details about this authority that prevent rejections and wasted trips:
Point 1
Alberta is one of the provinces with its own apostille authority: Authentication Services in Edmonton apostilles Alberta public and notarial documents.
Point 2
Birth, marriage and death records are ordered through registry agents, offices authorized by the province, or directly from Vital Statistics. For Mexico, the version showing the parents is the better choice.
Point 3
Every winter Calgary and Edmonton send many retirees to Mazatlán, Puerto Vallarta and the Riviera Nayarit; the documents they need most are powers of attorney for bank trusts and marriage certificates for INM.
Point 4
The provincial fee is $10 CAD per apostille; you can drop the document off at the Edmonton counter or send it by mail (4–7 business days).
Point 5
Alberta does not apostille the RCMP criminal record certificate, even if you live there: it goes to Global Affairs Canada.

✍️
Notaries public (AB)
Requirements for powers of attorney, affidavits and certified copies signed in Alberta:
In Alberta, lawyers are notaries public and the province also appoints some other people; Authentication Services checks the signature and seal before apostilling.
A power of attorney for a bank trust in Mazatlán or Nuevo Vallarta must include what the trustee bank requires; send them the draft before signing in Alberta.
For a power of attorney or declaration, see an Alberta notary; a certified copy of a vital record, on the other hand, comes from a registry agent or Vital Statistics.
