Notary Commissioning



Notary or commissioning services are required usually for a variety of needs & purposes. Many documents are not considered legal until they are commissioned or notarized. A commissioner of oaths or Notary Public is generally considered an impartial witness in any proceeding concerning notarized or commissioned documents. Prior to notarization, a document is explained to the executants who, after due identification, are asked to admit its contents & execution and then to sign the document along with witnesses if required. An experienced Lawyer can quickly & efficiently provide these services for all your business, real estate or other needs. Following are some most common needs prompting a visit to a notary and commissioning services.

Statutory Declarations

Many Canadian statutes require the execution of declarations as evidence that individuals attest to particular facts. A notary public is usually assigned responsibility to authorize/attest execution of such declarations. The person making declaration is required to be physically present at the time of attestation by the notary public or commissioner.

Swearing of Affidavit

An individual may be responsible for swearing an affidavit for numerous reasons. Affidavits usually play a big role in litigation matters but could also be required in any other circumstances. A notary public or commissioner of oaths may need to be present to administer oath or to commission an affidavit.

Letters of Invitation

When particular foreign nationals visit Canada, they will need a visa from the Canadian government. The letter of invitation may be a part of the required application process as a supporting document.

Travel Consent Authorization

Children under the age of maturity who are traveling without both of their parents may be required to carry a travel consent authorization. Failing to provide a child with a properly completed travel consent authorization may result in officials refusing to permit the child to travel.

Authentication of Document Copies

You may need to submit documents for purposes that require you to show notarized or authenticated copies rather than originals. Consulting with an experienced notary or commissioner can assist with this process.

Identifying a law firm with years of experience in this field is strongly recommended anytime that you need someone who is knowledgeable about how notary services work.
