Can I have documents commissioned online in Oshawa?

Yes. Residents of Oshawa can have many documents commissioned by an Ontario Notary Public over a secure video appointment under Ontario law (O. Reg. 431/20). This includes affidavits, statutory declarations, and travel consent letters prepared as statutory declarations. Certified true copies and witnessed signatures are NOT available online — those are in-person acts. The notary verifies your identity, administers the oath or declaration while you sign on camera, and applies the notarial seal during the call. You do not need to live in Oshawa: you can join from anywhere, in Ontario, elsewhere in Canada or abroad.

Which documents cannot be completed online?

Some documents are completed in person only — certified true copies of paper originals (the notary must inspect the original), and by our practice powers of attorney, wills, real estate documents, and documents headed for Apostille or authentication abroad. We are online-only in Oshawa, so for those you would need our Orléans office or mobile service near Ottawa if you can make the trip, or a notary or commissioner local to you.

What do I need for my online appointment?

You will need valid government-issued photo identification, the unsigned document, a device with a camera and microphone, and a stable internet connection. The notary will guide you through identity verification and signing during the call.

Can I get a same-day notary appointment from Oshawa?

Usually, yes. We are open every day from 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM, so same-day online appointments are generally available, including evenings and weekends. Booking online guarantees your time slot; if your document is urgent, call (613) 434-5555 and we will find the earliest opening.

Which documents do people in Oshawa most often need notarized or commissioned?
