The Notarization Process

What a Notary Public Can Do

A notary public can confirm identity, witness signatures, certify copies of original documents, and commission sworn or affirmed statements. Proper identification is usually required before notarization can be completed. In some cases, the person signing the document must appear in person and confirm that they understand the document and are signing voluntarily.

Common Document Types

Certified Copies & Affidavits

Certified true copies are commonly needed when an organization requires confirmation that a copy appears to match the original document. This may apply to passports, driver's licences, diplomas, transcripts, immigration documents, corporate records, or other official documents.

Affidavits and statutory declarations are also common notary matters. These documents contain statements that are sworn or affirmed to be true. Because they may carry legal consequences, the contents should be reviewed carefully before signing.

Important Considerations

International Use & Legal Advice

Some documents intended for use outside Canada may require additional steps after notarization, such as authentication or legalization. Requirements can vary depending on the destination country and the purpose of the document. Obtaining proper guidance before submitting the document can help avoid delays or rejection.

When Legal Advice Is Needed

Notarization does not always mean legal advice has been provided on the content of the document. If the document affects your legal rights, financial responsibilities, property, family matters, immigration status, or business obligations, legal advice may be needed before signing.
