Ensure your important documents are legally binding with professional signature notarization. We verify identities, witness signatures, and add legal authenticity to your contracts, agreements, and important documents.
About This Service
Signature notarization is a critical legal process where a Notary Public serves as an impartial witness to the signing of important documents. The notary verifies the identity of each signer using government-issued photo identification, confirms they are signing voluntarily and without coercion, and ensures they understand the nature of the document they are signing. Once witnessed, the notary applies their official seal and signature, creating a legally binding acknowledgment. This process adds a crucial layer of authenticity and legal weight to documents, helping prevent fraud and disputes. In Ontario, notarized signatures are required or recommended for many types of contracts, real estate transactions, corporate documents, and legal agreements.

Why It Matters
Signature notarization serves as a powerful fraud prevention tool and provides legal assurance that the people who signed a document are who they claim to be. Banks, government agencies, courts, and businesses often require notarized signatures to ensure document authenticity. For real estate transactions, the notarized signature confirms the seller has the authority to transfer property. For contracts, it provides evidence that all parties voluntarily agreed to the terms. In legal disputes, a notarized document carries significantly more weight than an unwitnessed signature because the notary has verified identities and witnessed the signing. This protection is invaluable for high-value transactions and legally binding agreements.
