Services
Document Notarization
We provide official document notarization services where our qualified notary public verifies identities and witnesses document signings. This service ensures legal validity for domestic and international documents including contracts, travel permissions, and property transfers. Our process requires government-issued photo ID and follows strict Ontario regulatory standards.
Certification Services
Our certification service authenticates document copies against original materials for official purposes. This includes passport photos, academic transcripts, and personal records. Clients must bring both original documents and photocopies as we don't provide printing services. Multi-page documents require special handling and additional fees apply for larger volumes.
Affidavit Commissioning
We administer oaths and certify solemn declarations for legal documents including statutory declarations and affidavits. This service requires complete documents with marked signature locations. We don't draft legal content but ensure proper execution according to provincial regulations. Special requirements apply for will-related documents requiring witness coordination.
Electronic Certification
Our electronic document certification service authenticates digital records viewed through email or websites. Clients must bring devices showing original sources and printed copies. This service requires additional time and carries premium pricing. We advise confirming institutional acceptance of electronic certifications before proceeding with this service.
Passport Services
We provide passport-related notarization services including photograph certification and guarantor form commissioning. This includes creating consent-to-travel documents and invitation letters for visa applications. Special procedures apply for passport replacement documentation requiring electronic verification of original records from official sources.

Before arriving, we placed 3M sign here flags on the document indicating clearly spots to sign. The notary proceeded to sign half of his name on the document and the other half on those flags (on multiple pages!). That says something about the quality of the service. Be sure to check his work before you leave! We went on a Saturday and the appointment system didnt seem to mean anything, so budget a bit more time.

The documents I had notarised were unfortunately not signed correctly, and were deemed unacceptable. I did have to go elsewhere, which in the end cost the same amount but I have now paid twice. No staff available to answer phone or email, the only way I could get back in contact was through making another online appointment. I think there are other services in Toronto, that take the time to carefully review documents and all information provided, that charge similar fees. Appointments here are made every 5 minutes, and it seems that customers are just churned through, with little care for the

Fast, friendly, efficient. Based on the Google reviews, I expected the process to be easy. It was easier than easy. I like the process of online booking and recommendation for what to do before arriving. This was all very helpful. The notary public Jeffrey was friendly, professional and helpful. Rate was reasonable and I felt was good value. Also a very covid-19 safe environment with barrier set up
