Notarization Services
What You Need to Know

A notary public is a person who can serve as an official witness to the execution (signing) of contracts, agreements, and an almost limitless array of legal documents. A notary may also certify documents to be true copies of the original. Notarization simply refers to an official act of a Notary.

What Can a Notary Do?

A notary also has the authority to:

  • Administer oaths
  • Administer solemn affirmations
  • Administer declarations for affidavits and statutory declarations
Note: You must sign documents in the physical presence of the Notary for them to notarize your signature.

Why Notarization Matters

Having documents signed before a notary provides assurance to others that the person truly signed the document. In today’s digital world—where contracts are often signed remotely—this adds an important layer of legal trust and reduces the risk of fraud or dispute.

Additional Legal Services a Notary May Provide

In some jurisdictions, notaries can also:

  • Draft contracts and promissory notes
  • Prepare wills and mortgages
  • Create other legal documents
The scope of these services varies depending on provincial or state legislation.

Notarial Authority in Ontario

In Ontario, a notary public’s authority is derived from the Notaries Act, which states:

“…a notary public has and may use and exercise the power of drawing, passing, keeping and issuing all deeds and contracts, charter-parties and other mercantile transactions in Ontario, and also of attesting all commercial instruments that may be brought before him or her for public protestation…”

Are All Notaries Lawyers?

In many Canadian provinces, only lawyers are qualified to offer full notary public services. For example:

  • In Ontario, notaries are often lawyers authorized under the Notaries Act.
  • In Quebec, the legal profession is split: you may need a Notaire or an Avocat depending on your legal matter.
