The office
Quiet, careful, and on the record.
Most people meet a notary once or twice in a lifetime, usually because someone else told them they had to. The visit should not be a mystery. We notarise documents under the rules set out in Ontario’s Notaries Act: identity is checked, signatures are witnessed in person, and copies are certified against the original in front of you.
We do not draft your will, give legal advice, or take a side in your dispute. What we do is verify, witness, and seal, then enter the act in our register so it can be confirmed later. If a document needs more than that, we will say so before you pay for anything.
If you cannot come to the office for medical or mobility reasons, we make hospital and home visits across Ottawa. Same-day slots 7 days a week.
How we work
Four principles, applied to every appointment.
The same standards apply whether the document takes five minutes or an hour, whether you need one stamp or ten.
- 1
Integrity
Every document is handled to the standards required by Ontario’s Notaries Act. If something is not correct, we will say so before you sign.
- 2
Plain language
We explain what each notarial step does and what it does not do, in plain language, before you book.
- 3
Accessibility
By appointment with same-day slots 7 days a week. Mobile visits across Ottawa for clients who cannot travel. Evening, Saturday, and Sunday slots bookable online.
- 4
Confidentiality
Identity documents are inspected, not retained. Files are kept in a logged register, and nothing else leaves the office.
Credentials
Why this seal is worth carrying.
Our notary is appointed by Ontario’s Attorney General under the Notaries Act and is a licensed paralegal in good standing with the Law Society of Ontario, held to its professional standards. Every notarisation is recorded so it can be verified later.
- 01
Licensed Notary Public & Commissioner of Oaths
A licensed Notary Public and Commissioner of Oaths for the Province of Ontario, and a member in good standing of the Law Society of Ontario. Authorised to administer oaths, witness signatures, and certify true copies anywhere in the province.
- 02
Official Ontario notarial seal
The seal and signature record the notarial act. Each receiving body decides whether to accept the document and whether authentication, an apostille, or another step is required.
- 03
Logged register of every notarisation
Each act is recorded in a register so the document can be verified later. Useful when an institution wants to confirm a notarisation we performed.
- 04
Same-day where the schedule allows
Affidavits, declarations, and travel consents sworn online average 3-4 minutes once the appointment begins; certified copies are an in-person act and take a little longer. Check the booking calendar or call for current availability.
