Frequently asked questions.
What’s the difference between notarizing and commissioning a document?
Notarizing refers to the act of a notary public verifying the authenticity of documents, signatures, or declarations. Commissioning, on the other hand, involves a commissioner for oaths confirming that an oath or affirmation has been properly administered.
Do I need a notary public or a commissioner for oaths?
It depends on the document. If you need to swear or affirm that the contents of a document are true, you’ll need a commissioner for oaths. If you require authentication of a signature or a document itself, you’ll typically need a notary public.
Are all lawyers notaries and commissioners in Canada?
While not all lawyers are notaries, many are. In most provinces, being a practicing lawyer grants one the authority to act as a commissioner for oaths. However, to act as a notary public, a lawyer usually has to apply and may need additional training or certification.
Why would I need a document notarized?
Documents may need to be notarized to verify their authenticity or the validity of signatures, especially if they’re to be used outside of Canada. Examples include consent to travel documents, affidavits for court, and international business contracts.
How can I verify if someone is a licensed notary or commissioner in Canada?
Most provinces have regulatory bodies or societies that oversee notaries and commissioners. For example, in Ontario, you can check with the Law Society of Ontario or the Ontario Society of Notaries Public. Always verify the credentials of a notary or commissioner before using their services.
