Common FAQs
What is a Notary Public?
A Notary Public is appointed by the Attorney General of Ontario to act as a formal, neutral witness for legal signings where they can verify identities, witness signatures, administer oaths, and certify documents to help ensure they are properly executed and authenticated.Â
Notary vs. Commissioner?
A Notary Public can perform all the duties of a Commissioner for Taking Affidavits, and more. In addition to commissioning documents, a Notary can verify identities, witness signatures, and notarize documents for use within Ontario and internationally.Â
Which IDs are valid for use?
We accept current unexpired government issued photo identification such as a passport, driver's license, or photo card. It is vital that the name on your ID matches the name printed on your legal documents exactly.
What do I need for my visit?
Kindly bring your unsigned paperwork and a current piece of government photo ID. Please do not sign any documents beforehand; the Notary Public must witness your signature in person to complete the notarization process.
How long is a typical session?
Most standard appointments wrap up in about 10 to 20 minutes. If you have many documents or a complex situation, it might take longer, but we always aim to respect your valuable time and schedule.
