Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about our notarization and commissioning services.

+ What is a notary public?

Notaries can take affidavits or declarations by asking you to swear or affirm that what is in a document is true & can verify that signatures, marks and copies of documents are true or genuine. Notaries are appointed by the Ministry of the Attorney General pursuant to the Notaries Act.

+ What is a commissioner for taking oaths and affidavits?

Commissioners for taking oaths can take affidavits or declarations by asking you to swear or affirm that what is in a document is true. In Ontario, all notaries are commissioners! Commissioners are appointed pursuant to the Commissioners for Taking Affidavits Act.

+ How much do you charge?

Our fees are $36.99 for the first notarization (notary’s stamp and signature), and $21.99 for each additional notarization. We charge per notarization or commission, not per page. See our Fees page for more information.

+ What types of documents can you notarize?

Downtown Notary can notarize or commission almost any document, including oaths, affidavits, statutory declarations and certified true copies of almost any document. Visit our Notary Public Services page for more information.

+ What do I need to bring to my notary appointment?

You must bring either one piece of valid government-issued identification (e.g., driver's licence or passport) or two pieces of government-issued non-photo identification (e.g., social insurance card or birth certificate) to your appointment. You must bring the documents you require notarized. If you require printing services, you must notify us before the appointment. Please do not sign any documents until the appointment. If you require certified true copies of a document, you must bring the original document and the copies to be certified.

+ I need a commissioner for taking oaths, can you provide this service?

Yes, all of Downtown Notary’s notaries are also commissioners for taking oaths and affidavits, and can help you with any document that requires a commissioner.

+ Do you offer online notary services?

Yes, we do! Online notary services are also called remote online notarization, virtual commissioning, enotary services or digital notarization. For more information, visit our Online Notary Services page for more information.

+ Can Downtown Notary notarize documents that will be used in another province or country?

Generally, we can notarize documents that will be used in another province or country. However, your notarized documents may need to be authenticated and legalized before they will be accepted in another country. If you aren’t sure what the requirements are, contact the consulate or embassy of the country in which the notarized documents will be used.

Downtown Notary limits its services to verifying that signatures, marks and copies of documents are true or genuine and does not provide any legal advice. If you require legal advice and need to find a lawyer, please use the Law Society of Ontario's Finding a Lawyer or Paralegal services.
