Virtual commissioning

Ontario Regulation 431/20, made under the Commissioners for Taking Affidavits Act, permits certain documents to be commissioned remotely by videoconference where the signor is physically located in Ontario. We offer virtual commissioning for affidavits, pension declarations, OSAP forms and standard statutory declarations at the same rate: $39 + HST for the first document, $20 + HST for the second, and $10 + HST for each additional document in the same appointment.

For a virtual appointment, the signor must be located in Ontario, must present valid government-issued photo ID on camera, and must sign the document while visible on the video call. A copy of the signed document and the ID shown is retained as required by the regulation.

Notary public in Ajax, near you

Our notary office is at 362 Kingston Road West, Unit 5, in Ajax, a short drive from Pickering and Whitby. Most notarizations and commissionings are done the same day, and walk-ins are welcome subject to availability. A lawyer handles your documents, so if something in a document raises a legal question we can tell you before you sign.

Common requests from Ajax and Durham clients include travel consent letters for children travelling with one parent, certified true copies of passports, degrees and transcripts, statutory declarations for banks, insurers and government offices, affidavits for court, and documents for use outside Canada.

Documents for use outside Canada

Some countries need more than a notary's signature. Since Canada joined the Apostille Convention in January 2024, documents notarized in Ontario for use in member countries are usually apostilled by Ontario's Official Documents Services. Countries outside the Convention may still require embassy or consulate legalization. Check what the receiving country or organization requires, and we will notarize in the form they expect.

What to bring

Bring the original documents and valid government-issued photo ID for each person signing. Do not sign documents before your appointment, in person or virtually.
