Notary Public

Notary Public is able to certify documents, witness signings, and commission oaths.
Ontario Notary Public's seal on a document indicates that according to client’s statement, the facts contained in the document are true, and has the same effect as swearing to tell the truth under oath in a court of law.

As of May 12, 2020, under Bill 190, the Ontario Government amended the Notaries Act providing for circumstances in which a notary public need not be in the physical presence of the person with respect to whom the notary public is exercising his or her powers.

Our Notary services can be provided in-person or virtually depending on the type of your document or service requested. Sealed and Ink-signed hard copies of your digital document(s) will be mailed by Omegal Legal Services to your mailing address upon request.

For in-person notary services you need to:

• Bring a valid government issued photo ID;
• Bring a photocopy and the original document(s);
• All documents should be completed (except for the date and signature) prior to the appointment
  (fill in forms, enter ID numbers, attach photographs, if required, etc.); Photocopying multiple documents
  into a single page, by law, requires its own seal for each photocopied image. A multi-page document
  requires only one (1) seal and a fee for each seal is required. The Notary will seal the 1st page and affix signature stamps on the other pages;

IMPORTANT: Do Not sign or date the documents before seeing the Notary. We cannot notarize or commission declarations unless the person signing the document appears before us.
