Online Notary & Commissioning in Windsor

Windsor residents can have documents commissioned by an Ontario Notary Public over a secure video appointment — affidavits and statutory declarations, all handled remotely.

Reserve a time, join the video call, present your identification, and sign while the notary witnesses and seals your document under Ontario law. Federal documents can be commissioned online from anywhere in the region.

Windsor sits directly across the river from Detroit and is one of Canada's busiest land border crossings. Cross-border life produces documents other Ontario cities see less often: child travel consent letters for parents crossing with children, declarations about residency, and affidavits supporting dual-country family arrangements.

Windsor's automotive manufacturing sector and the University of Windsor add employment declarations, insurance statements, and student paperwork.

Windsor also has a significant number of residents who work in Michigan or have family on both sides of the border, which raises questions about which documents an Ontario commissioner can and cannot handle. Documents intended for use in the United States often need authentication or an apostille, which requires an in-person wet-ink signature rather than a video appointment.
