Notary and commissioning services, without unnecessary complication.

Straightforward assistance with common notarization and commissioning needs, subject to document requirements and satisfactory identification.

Available services

Confirm the document requirements before you attend.

The person or organization receiving the document decides what form of notarization, commissioning or witnessing is required.

Commissioning

Affidavits, statutory declarations and other documents that may be sworn or affirmed before a commissioner, where permitted.

Notarization

Notarial certificates and witnessing where a notary public is required and the document is suitable for the requested service.

Certified true copies

Comparison of an original document with a copy and certification where appropriate. The original document must be available.

Document execution

Witnessing signatures on eligible documents. Some documents require a specific witness, legal advice, translation or another professional.

What to bring

Prepare before your appointment.

  • The complete document, with no blank pages or missing attachments
  • Valid, current government-issued photo identification
  • Any instructions from the organization receiving the document
  • The original document when requesting a certified true copy
  • Any required witness who is independent and eligible to act
Please do not sign in advance if the signature must be witnessed or the document must be sworn or affirmed. CF Paralegal Services may decline a service if identity, capacity, voluntariness, document completeness or legal authority cannot be confirmed.

Notary service is not legal advice.

A notary or commissioner confirms specific formalities. That service does not confirm that a document is legally effective or appropriate for your situation. Independent legal advice may be required.
