Scope of service

Minute Notary provides remote commissioning of oaths, affirmations, and statutory declarations over secure two-way video for clients in Ontario, under Ontario Regulation 431/20 (made under the Commissioners for Taking Affidavits Act). That regulation covers commissioning only. Witnessing a signature is a service under the Notaries Act, which requires the notary to be physically present, so it is handled at the Ottawa office or by mobile visit. References to “online notary,” “notarize online,” or “online notarization” are used only as informal, descriptive terms so clients can find this service. Ontario law does not regulate online notarization as such, and Minute Notary does not notarize documents over video. Those terms refer only to the legally valid remote commissioning described here.

Some notarial acts are handled in person only, including signature witnessing, certified true copies of physical original documents, wills, powers of attorney, and documents that require a wet-ink signature or an apostille for use abroad. If your document only exists on paper, or the receiving organization requires an original signature, we will let you know and arrange an in-person appointment.

Minute Notary is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Before booking, please confirm that the court, government body, or organization receiving your document accepts remotely commissioned documents. Questions? Call 613-434-5555 or email info@minutenotary.ca.

Apostille & document authentication4Everything Ottawa applicants need to know about the Hague apostille for Canadian documents — when it replaces embassy legalization, what a notary does first, and the Ontario / federal pathway in 2026.
Immigration & IRCC notarization20Certified copies, sponsorship declarations, and supporting affidavits for IRCC applications including PR, work permits, study permits, citizenship, and family sponsorship.
Wills, estates & power of attorney11Ontario wills, continuing power of attorney, affidavits of execution, and the witnessing rules estate documents require — explained for Ottawa families.
Real estate & contracts9Where a notary fits in an Ontario property deal and a business contract: gift-letter declarations, certified copies for the lender, powers of attorney witnessed for a closing, land transfer tax declarations, family transfers, landlord and tenant paperwork, and the corporate resolutions banks ask for. The closing itself stays with your lawyer. The sworn and certified paperwork around it is done here, online by video where the document allows it and in person where it does not.
Vehicle transfers & ServiceOntario5The sworn statements ServiceOntario asks for when a vehicle changes hands in Ontario — the family gift exemption on Form 1157E, the non-gift transfer on Form 1155E, corporate RIN letters, and affidavits for a lost or stolen ownership permit. Each one is commissioned online by video and returned as a PDF; the guides below take the forms in the order the counter asks for them, starting with the one question that decides everything: is this transfer a gift between eligible family members, or not?
Statutory declarations & affidavits37When you need a sworn affidavit versus a statutory declaration, what wording Ontario requires, and how Ottawa appointments handle the most common cases.
Professional licensing & corporate documents5Regulators and banks want the same two things from a notary: certified true copies of originals they will never see, and sworn declarations they can rely on. These guides cover the Ontario College of Teachers, the College of Nurses of Ontario and NCAS, Professional Engineers Ontario and inter-provincial P.Eng. mobility, academic credentials, and the corporate resolutions and certified articles a business needs for a bank or a foreign registration. Declarations are commissioned online by video; certified copies are made in person from the original.
