Sworn Affidavits & Statutory Declarations in Ontario

An affidavit or statutory declaration is a written statement of facts that you swear or affirm to be true. Whether you are finalizing a divorce, sponsoring a family member for immigration, or declaring a lost passport, our licensed Ontario commissioners of oaths are here to ensure your documents are legally binding and properly executed.

The Notarization Process: What to Expect

Commissioning an oath is a serious legal process. Here is how we make it seamless for you:

1. Do Not Sign Yet: You must sign the document in the physical or virtual presence of the notary.
2. ID Verification: Present a valid, unexpired piece of government-issued photo ID (e.g., Ontario Driver's License or Passport).
3. The Oath: The notary will ask you to swear on a religious text or make a secular affirmation that the contents of your document are true.
4. Stamping & Signing: We will sign and apply our embossed seal to the document.
