Book an appointment, bring your document, and we witness your signature and apply the seal.
An Affidavit of No Lien is a sworn statement in which a company officer or authorised representative declares under oath that specific property or assets are free from outstanding liens, charges, or encumbrances. Buyers, lenders, and title insurers use it as written assurance that no one else has a legal claim against the property before a transaction closes.
This affidavit is not a replacement for a registry search. Buyers and lenders often require both a lien search (through ServiceOntario or the Personal Property Security Act registry) and a sworn declaration as complementary forms of assurance.
The affidavit is used wherever a party needs sworn confirmation that property is unencumbered before committing funds or completing a transfer.
Only someone with personal knowledge of the company's financial obligations related to the property should swear this document. The declarant must state their position and authority in the affidavit.
The template collects the details needed to identify the company, the declarant, and the purpose of the declaration.
The notary must verify the declarant's identity before administering the oath. Prepare the following before your visit.
At Minute Notary, you present your photo ID, the notary confirms your identity, and you swear or affirm that the contents of the affidavit are true. You sign in the notary's presence, and the notary completes the jurat with the date, location, and their official seal. Commissioning is a flat $19.90 per signature stamp.
Virtual commissioning is available under Ontario Regulation 431/20 if both you and the notary are located in Ontario during the video call. Because a false statement is perjury under section 131 of the Criminal Code (carrying up to 14 years' imprisonment), you should only swear this document if you have personal knowledge that no liens exist against the property or assets described.
