A Notary Public is authorized to witness signatures, certify documents, administer oaths, and perform services for both domestic and international legal matters. In contrast, a Commissioner of Oaths primarily administers oaths and affidavits for documents used within the same jurisdiction. While both roles verify the authenticity of documents, a notary public has broader powers, particularly for documents intended for use outside the country.

Notarizing a document ensures its authenticity and legal validity. At GSA Law Professional Corporation, the notarization process typically involves the following steps:

  1. Document Review - We examine the document to ensure it is complete and ready for notarization.

  2. Identity Verification - The signer provides valid identification to confirm their identity.

  3. Signing the Document - The document is signed in the presence of the notary public.

  4. Notary Certification - The notary affixes their seal and signature, certifying the document’s authenticity.

  5. Record Keeping - A copy of the notarized document may be kept for legal records, if required.

Our team ensures that every step is handled efficiently, accurately, and in full compliance with the law, giving you confidence that your documents are properly notarized.

Notarizing or commissioning documents ensures their authenticity, legality, and acceptance in both domestic and international matters. These processes help prevent fraud, verify the identity of signers, and confirm that documents are executed properly.

An Ontario Notary Public is responsible for witnessing signatures, administering oaths, certifying documents, and verifying the authenticity of legal paperwork. They ensure that documents are legally valid and accepted for use in both domestic and international matters.

In Ontario, oaths and solemn declarations are typically commissioned in person to ensure the identity of the signer and the authenticity of the declaration. Some exceptions may exist under specific legal provisions, but in most cases, physical presence before a Commissioner of Oaths or Notary Public is required.

A notary public may refuse to notarize a document if there are issues with the signer’s identity, doubts about their capacity, incomplete or fraudulent documents, or if the notary believes the document is illegal or improper. Notarization requires that all parties understand the document and act voluntarily.
