Online Notary & Commissioning,
done in minutes.

Our pricing is flat: $24.95 for the first stamp or seal and $24.95 for each additional stamp, plus HST. The same rate applies to most services, with no rush fees when you book ahead and no document surcharges. Wills and powers of attorney are signed in person and priced as a bundle: $115 for one document, $200 for any two, and $240 for a will plus both powers of attorney.

Yes. The first signer is included in the flat rate, and each additional person who must also sign is charged extra — $24.95 per additional signer, plus HST. Your total updates automatically as you add signers when you book.

Please bring valid, government-issued photo identification, such as a passport, an Ontario driver’s licence, or an Ontario photo card. Bring the original documents you need notarized, along with any supporting paperwork the receiving organization has asked for.

A commissioner of oaths can administer oaths and take affidavits and declarations for use within Ontario. A notary public can do all of that and also certify true copies, witness signatures, and notarize documents intended for use outside Ontario or abroad. We act in both capacities.

Eligible affidavits, statutory declarations, and selected sworn Ontario, IRCC, and court forms can be commissioned online under O. Reg. 431/20. A travel consent letter is online-eligible when it is prepared as a statutory declaration. At Minute Notary, signature witnessing, certified true copies of paper or identity documents, wills, powers of attorney, trusts, negotiable instruments, documents of title, and documents that require a wet-ink original for apostille or legalization are handled in person. Contracts, custom forms, and documents for use abroad may require review, and the receiving organization must accept remote commissioning. Select your exact document when booking to see whether it is online-eligible, requires review, or must be completed in person.

A consent letter is not legally required in Canada, but the Government of Canada recommends carrying one when a child travels without every person who has decision-making responsibility. Any adult may witness it, while the Government strongly recommends a notary public. Minute Notary offers two routes. Prepared as a statutory declaration, the parent declares the consent and the notary commissions it over secure video under O. Reg. 431/20. If the airline, border service or consulate asks for a notary-witnessed signature instead, the notary witnesses the signature in person, at the Ottawa office or on a mobile visit, because no Ontario regulation permits witnessing a signature over video. Carry the original signed letter, check airline and destination rules, and remember that acceptance is not guaranteed.

Yes. We work by appointment so we can prepare for your document and arrange the online signing or a mobile visit. Same-day slots are usually available any day of the week, including Saturday and Sunday. Book online or call (613) 434-5555.

An online appointment takes 3-4 minutes on average once we are on the call — affidavits, statutory declarations and the sworn forms we commission over video. In-person work is longer because the notary has to inspect something physical: certified copies and signature witnessing usually take 10 to 15 minutes.
