Online Notary & Commissioning in Toronto

Toronto residents can have documents commissioned by an Ontario Notary Public without leaving home. Affidavits and statutory declarations are completed over a secure video appointment under Ontario law (O. Reg. 431/20) — no downtown parking, no waiting room.

You book a time, join the call, present your identification, and sign while the notary watches. For Ontario matters your document stays an Ontario matter; for federal documents such as immigration paperwork, you can join from anywhere in the Greater Toronto Area or beyond.

Toronto is Canada's largest city and its busiest immigration destination, so a large share of the paperwork we see here is federal: sworn declarations for IRCC, invitation letters for visitor visas, and statutory declarations of common-law union. Because those are federal documents, where you sit during the appointment does not change how they are treated.

The practical reason Toronto residents book online is time. Travelling downtown, parking, and waiting at a walk-in counter can consume most of a working day. A video appointment removes the travel entirely — you join from home or the office, present your identification, and sign while the notary watches.
