Revalidation / Legalization of School Marks:
Many countries including Brazil, Colombia and Mexico require school final report cards to be legalized and revalidated in Canada in order for such documents to be accepted by that country's education system. The International Services Office of Lethbridge School District No. 51 offers a revalidation of marks service for those students who require it. The fee for this service is $125.00, which includes all legal, embassy and courier fees. Payment is required in advance. To request revalidation / legalization of school marks click here.
