Apostille Documents?

[YULpj]

Hello everyone I am trying to help my friend with her application for her spouse.

I am trying to figure out if the documents need to be apostille? Like marriage certificate, criminal record etc... Any of these documents need to be apostille? PA is from Argentina. I appreciate any info! Thanks

I see for Argentina 'no special requirements.' This means that most things only need to be translated and the copy of the original (attached to translation) notarised. In most countries you can get this done at once through a certified translator or notary and they'll get it together for you - just make sure to specify you need both. (I mean most translators/notaries will have one of the other they work with frequently, and sometimes be co-located.)

Thank you so much for this info

Note, because you asked, if you want to get them apostille'd and it's easier, they should (must I think) accept that too. Just it's not required.

[Note to others: some countries in Latin America have strict requirements that things must be notarized / apostile'd / authenticated 'by government.' As far as I'm aware IRCC pages I linked to above will specify this distinction.

Funny thing is though that sometimes the only option "in" country A is through the government, but you may be able to get it notarized elsewhere - e.g. in Canada - and that's fine. I don't fully grasp this distinction so YMMV.]
