Check the Document Requirements
Review the instructions from the requesting organization and confirm whether the document requires notarization, commissioning, certification, or signature witnessing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find clear answers to common questions about notarization, affidavits, certified copies, identification and commissioner for oaths services in Ontario.
A commissioner for oaths administers oaths and affirmations for affidavits and declarations. A notary public can provide those services and may also verify signatures or certify copies of original documents as true.
Vertex may assist with affidavits, statutory declarations, certified true copies, travel consent letters, signature witnessing and other eligible personal or business documents. The receiving organization should confirm the exact service and format it requires.
Yes. Bring current, original government-issued photo identification that clearly shows your name and photograph. Additional identification may be requested depending on the document, service and instructions from the organization receiving it.
Usually, no. Documents requiring an oath, declaration or witnessed signature should generally be signed in front of the authorized professional. Complete the other sections, but leave the required signature area blank unless instructed otherwise.
A certified true copy is a copy that has been compared with the original and certified as a genuine copy. You must normally bring the original document so it can be examined before the copy is certified.
Some Ontario affidavits and declarations may be commissioned remotely when the applicable legal requirements are met. Vertex must first review the document, identity-verification needs and receiving organization’s instructions before confirming remote availability.
Possibly. International documents may require notarization and additional authentication or legalization. Confirm the destination country’s requirements before booking, as Vertex’s appointment may be only one step in the overall process.
Vertex can explain the commissioning process and identify incomplete sections, but the commissioner does not confirm that the contents are legally sufficient or true. You remain responsible for understanding and confirming every statement.
Usually, the individual signing, swearing or affirming the document must attend and provide identification. Another person generally cannot complete these steps on the signer’s behalf unless the document and applicable rules specifically permit it.
Fees depend on the document type, number of signatures, certified copies and whether additional appointments or services are required. Vertex provides clear fee information before the appointment so you can decide how to proceed.
