OFTEN ASKED QUESTIONS

What is an online notarization?

Virtual notarizations are often referred to as online notarizations or e-notarizations and consist of the remote commissioning of documents electronically. It often consists of notarizing affidavits, statutory declarations, oaths and other documents through web conferencing and digital signature platforms. It does not require meeting the notary in person.

How do I prepare for my online notary session?

In order to prepare for your session you should complete the following:

  • Ensure to have a Microsoft WORD or PDF copy of your document
  • You will need access to a web camera on a computer, tablet or smart phone
  • You will need a minimum of one piece of government issued photo identification or two pieces of government issued non-photo identification

What if you’re outside of Ontario?

Booking your appointment is easy. All you have to do is pick your preferred time on the booking calendar and one of our notaries will be in touch with you shortly thereafter.

Can more than one person signe the same document during an online notary appointment?

Absolutely. Online web conferencing allows for individuals to be in one or multiple locations for witnessing and signing.

Is notarizing a document online legal?

The Province of Ontario now permits the remote commissioning of affidavits, statutory declarations and oaths online. After much debate, the Province of Ontario moved into the digital world with respect to notarizations and enacted Ontario Regulation 431/20, Administering Oath or Declaration Remotely, a regulation under the Commissioners for Taking Affidavits Act. The Act allowed for the remote commissioning of documents in Ontario so long as certain requirements are met.

Why aren’t all documents notarized digitally?

It is important to know whether the ultimate recipient of the document will accept a digitally notarized copy. If not, an original notarized document will need to be provided.

If the original document is only an electronica document, we can certify the electronica document as original.

Can a certified true copy be notarized online?
