Overview
An affidavit of service — also called proof of service or a sworn statement of service — is a written, sworn confirmation by the person who delivered documents that service was carried out. It is sworn before a notary public or commissioner for taking affidavits.
It gives the court reliable evidence that the other party received the documents, which protects everyone’s right to notice and lets the proceeding continue.
Most legal and court processes require an affidavit of service to be filed once documents are delivered.
State who served the documents, exactly which documents were served, and the full date, time, and place of service. Describe the method of service — in person, by mail, by courier, or by email — and identify the person who was served.
Accurate, specific detail matters: the court relies on this affidavit to confirm proper notice, so vague entries can hold up your matter.
Once you have filled in your affidavit of service and downloaded the PDF, do not sign it yet. An affidavit or statutory declaration must be signed in the presence of a notary public or a commissioner for taking affidavits, who administers your oath or solemn affirmation before you sign.
Minute Notary commissions your affidavit of service either online by secure video, under Ontario's remote commissioning rules (O. Reg. 431/20), or in person in Ottawa. Bring valid government-issued photo identification so we can confirm who you are before we apply the notary seal.
