COMMON QUESTIONS

Notary or commissioner near you — common questions

Is there a notary near me in Ontario?

The fastest option is usually online — an authorized Ontario commissioner by secure video, available from anywhere in the province, often the same day. For services that must be in person, we serve offices across the Greater Toronto Area, Hamilton and Windsor–Essex.

How do I find a commissioner of oaths near me?

Affidavits, statutory declarations and letters can be commissioned by video province-wide, so you don't need to travel. If your document needs an in-person appointment, we match you with a commissioner serving your area.

Do I have to visit a notary in person?

Not for most affidavits and statutory declarations — those can be commissioned online under Ontario's remote commissioning rules. Certified true copies, signature witnessing, and Wills or Powers of Attorney are done in person or with a lawyer.

Can I get a notary near me today?

Online commissioning is often available same day from anywhere in Ontario. In-person availability depends on the office and time; we confirm the soonest option when you book.

Is an online notary the same as visiting a notary near me?

For documents where remote commissioning is permitted, an online session has the same effect as an in-person appointment. Whether a court, government office or institution accepts it is their decision — we flag any known requirement before you book.
