Notary Public and Commissioner of Oaths
We deliver exceptional services either in-person and online at substantially fair prices. We comply with all of the legal requirements and procedures. We offer a wide-range of services such as notarizing certified true copies, oaths and affidavits, and statutory declarations.
In Ontario, the practice of notarizing is governed by the Notaries Act. Lawyers and Paralegals who have been appointed have a non-restrictive life-time appointment as a Notary Public. A notary Public has all the powers of a commissioner for taking affidavits in Ontario, and can also witness or certify, and attest, the execution of a document, and certify and attest documents to be true copies of the original.
As of August 1, 2020, the Notaries Act was amended, allowing for:
Remote or virtual notarization, but only if a regulation made under the Notaries Act permits such a practice and the conditions set out in that regulation are met. No regulations permitting remote notarization or setting out the conditions for remote notarization have been made.
