Hello dear colleagues,

My client needs a legal business document translated from English into Spanish. The translator needs to be a certified individual and the translation needs to be notarized in Canada. Does anyone know if a translation notarized in Canada is legally recognized in Cuba.

Thanks kindly

It should.... Apr 2, 2007

Most probably Cuba does recognise Canadian notarization of translation.
But the question is whether this notarially certified translation needs legalisation or apostillisation. It depends on whether Cuba has joined the Hague Convention of October 5, 1961 (Convention de la Haye du 5 octobre 1961). And it seems to me, Cuba has not, as well as Canada.

I finally got through Apr 2, 2007

I did call the Cuban Consulate and they have told me that both doc. the English and the Cuban version needed to be notarized by a lawyer or notary.

The notarized documents need then to be legalized by the Cuban Consulate which costs 160.00 Canadian per doc. and takes up to two weeks (-; drangillo . Now all I have to find out is if it has to be legalized for the company were it is presented.

Thanks for helping me.

What is legalisation... Apr 3, 2007

In very simple words - legalisation means that some higher official (it can be the Secretary of the State, some official from Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, etc - depends on the county) certifies the signature and the signatory powers of the notary. That is done because nobody in a foreign country is able to know what are the notaries in the other country.
And very officially... public documents without legalisation are not valid in foreign countries.
