The team at Global followed up accurately and timely each time some new twist came up. Ms P Croome was a real help, offering valuable advice even before my first payment.
I am already using them for more documentation required on my Spanish Visa application. I can recommend GDS to anyone needing apostille services.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your help and how fast you completed my documents forever grateful thank you again. Highly highly recommended company.
Exceptional service! Nice to work with a company that does what they say they will!
Fantastic service, I would recommend them to anybody.
I had an excellent experience with Global Document Solutions! From start to finish, their service was professional, reliable, and efficient. The entire process was smooth, and they made sure everything was handled with great care and attention to detail. Communication was clear and timely, and I truly appreciate how easy they made things for me. I’m very satisfied with the results and highly recommend Global Document Solutions to anyone looking for top-quality service!
I have no regrets for choosing Global Document Solutions Apostille services. Incredibly helpful and professional staff, the process was streamlined and stress free. I can heartily recommend this company.
Great service fro Global Document Solutions! Highly recommend it
I can’t speak highly enough of the service I received from Joe and the team and GDS. I had so many questions, difficulties navigating the Canada Post strike and at every turn Joe was there to help me out. I hope I never need to apostille this many documents again, but if I do, I know who I can trust to get it down professionally and quickly. Bonus points for great communication and updates along the way.
They are respectful in dealing, very professional, and their service is excellent.
I had a couple of documents which required certificates of apostille. After numerous inquiries around the city where I live, I couldn't find anyone knowledgeable enough to help me out. Then I came across GDS. Problem solved. They were courteous and professional and handled it from start to finish. I was given an accurate time frame and was able to track the process every step of the way. They gave me the fee up front with no hidden costs and while I won't say they are cheap, they are fair. They saved me a lot of time and aggravation, and to put it in perspective, my daughter recently paid more for one ticket to a Beyonce concert. If ever I have need of such services again, I won't look around, I'll just go straight to GDS. Highly recommend. Chris Dube
I made a mistake and booked my travels before getting my VISA paperwork sorted and got nervous that I would not have time to receive them before I left. I was ready to deal with the consequences of my mistake, but then I found GDS. They were speedy, prompt, patient with my questions, servicial and immaculately professional. I also had a tracking tool where I could see how my paperwork was progressing, and a dedicated legal clerk who would promply answer my emails. The price is not only worth it but absolutely accurately apparaised for the service, quality of work and professionalism. Cannot recommend them enough if you are in a bind with papers.
I had an excellent experience with Global Document Solutions. Their service was professional, efficient, and incredibly well organized. They made the process of legalizing my academic documents smooth and hassle free.

Pegi is incredibly supportive, professional and knowledgeable, she is an absolute gem. When I was faced with an incompetent notary who had no clue as to how to handle important international documents, Pegi was there to help guide me (and her) through the process. I cannot recommend her and Global Document Solutions highly enough!
Pegi and the team were very easy to deal with, understood what was needed and were very quick and attentive in getting all documents prepared- it was a pleasure working with them
Working with Pegi made the entire attestation process so much easier. She was professional, responsive, and always ready to clarify every step. What seemed like a complicated and stressful process turned out to be smooth and efficient. Thanks to her guidance, I received my UAE equivalency smoothly and much faster than expected. Highly recommended for anyone needing reliable and knowledgeable support with document attestation!
Working with Global Document Solutions have been wonderful. They are very clear about delivery and very, very quick to respond, even to stupid questions 🙄 I can highly recommend them. Thanks!

I didn't use Global Document Solutions directly, but my brother did to request important documents from Canada to Mexico - and the entire process was absolutely flawless. Everything arrived securely and on time, with clear communication throughout. It gave us both peace of mind knowing the service was reliable and professional. Highly recommended for anyone needing international document handling done right!
I had an excellent experience with Global Document Solutions. Their team was efficient, responsive, and handled the legalization and international delivery of my documents with great professionalism. The entire process was transparent, with clear communication and no hidden fees — just fair, upfront pricing. Everything arrived on time and exactly as promised. Highly recommended for anyone needing reliable document services across borders.
I am grateful and impressed that this process was done so quickly. Six days from receipt of the focument to digit delivery. I will have the physical copy in another 5 days here in Spain. Thanks you to Pegi and the team.
Global Document Solutions was able to guide me through the end-to-end process with expert knowledge, great responsiveness and friendly customer service. It is as professional as it gets.
From day one, Pegi put my concerns to peace and was there every step of the way to support the process and ensure a continuous line of communication.

In my opinion, it was a very responsible company and very attentive to the documents and the case. Thank you for handling our case
Friendly, informative and very quick/courteous! Thanks a lot for all your help, Joe!
I am beyond impressed by the quality and speed of service. I need a document Apostilled and couriered internationally, and the Global Document Solutions team exceeded my expectations. It all started with the phone call, I sent them a request for quote. But when I called them, someone picked up (Joe) and answered all my questions. I received the quote, and even clear steps and timelines for everything. Everything was professionally coordinated and finished. Their app also gave me a status update. I can't recommend the company and their services enough. I will definitely be using them in the future for any such needs.
Global document solutions was totally my best solution!
Taking care of my elderly Aunt I was faced with an issue at her Bank in a foreign country. The law firm here in Canada, which holds her will and power of attorney were unable to help with my dilemma. After some research I landed at Global Document Solutions. I was able to speak with them directly and they knew exactly what I needed.
Their expert communication throughout the entire process was easy to understand, timely and made what I thought was going to be a nightmare an incredible painless issue.
