Common questions
Commissioner or notary, which do I need?
It depends on where the document is going. Documents for use inside Ontario often need a commissioner. Documents going outside Ontario usually need a notary. Ask the receiving organization, or ask us and bring their instructions.
Can you commission a document you did not prepare?
Yes, provided it is complete and you understand it. Commissioning confirms the oath and signature. It is not legal advice on the contents.
