Notary Public or Commissioner of Oaths?
In Ontario, Canada, a Notary Public and a Commissioner of Oaths are two distinct legal roles with different powers and responsibilities. A Notary Public holds a legal appointment and is authorized to administer oaths or affirmations and witness the signing of various documents, including affidavits, deeds, statutory declarations, and other conveyances. They have the authority to verify a person’s identification and confirm the authenticity of documents as true copies. On the other hand, a Commissioner of Oaths ensures that oaths or affirmations are administered in compliance with the law. They certify that the proper process of administering the oath or affirmation has been followed, but they do not certify the accuracy or truthfulness of the information contained in the documents. It is important to note that while every lawyer in Ontario is considered a Commissioner of Oaths, not every lawyer is a Notary Public.
Here is a list of various document types that may require notarization or a Commissioner for Oaths:
- Educational transcripts
- Court or legal documents
- Declarations
- Marriage or divorce certificates

- Birth or death certificates;
- Professional or business documents
