Disclaimer

The content of this website has been prepared by or on behalf of Notarys Canada for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Florence is appointed as a Notary Public and Commissioner for Taking Affidavits in and for the Province of Ontario — she is not a lawyer or paralegal licensed by the Law Society of Ontario, and nothing on this website should be read as legal advice or as creating a solicitor-client relationship.

Notarial services are limited to verifying identity, administering oaths and declarations, witnessing signatures, and certifying true copies. Florence does not draft legal documents, does not advise on which document you need, and does not advise on the legal effect or contents of any document. If you need advice on what to sign, consult a lawyer or paralegal licensed in your jurisdiction before your appointment.

Some services listed on this website relate to documents commonly used in immigration matters — for example statutory declarations, letters of invitation, or permanent resident card applications. Notarizing or witnessing a document of this kind is not immigration advice or immigration consulting. Under Canadian law, only a member of the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants, a lawyer, or a Quebec notary may represent or advise a person in an immigration or citizenship matter. If you need advice about an immigration application, contact a licensed immigration consultant, lawyer, or Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) directly.

Notarization confirms identity and the manner in which a document was signed, sworn, or copied — it does not verify, and is not a guarantee of, the truth of a document's contents, its legal validity, or its acceptance by any government, court, institution, or foreign authority. Requirements for foreign use (including apostille or authentication) can change, and Notarys Canada makes no representation that a particular document will be accepted for its intended purpose in any Canadian or foreign jurisdiction.

Florence's appointment as a Notary Public and Commissioner for Taking Affidavits, made under Ontario's Notaries Act and Commissioners for Taking Affidavits Act, is valid only within the Province of Ontario (and, for notarial acts, for documents intended for use elsewhere, as permitted under that appointment). This website is not an offer to perform notarial acts in any jurisdiction where doing so would not be permitted, and mobile appointments are offered only within the service areas listed on this site.

This website may link to third-party websites (for example, government forms pages) for informational purposes only. Notarys Canada does not control and is not responsible for the content of any third-party website, and a link does not imply endorsement of it.

Use of this website is at your own risk. Notarys Canada disclaims all liability with respect to actions taken or not taken based on its contents. This website contains general information, may not reflect the most current legal developments, government forms or fee schedules, and may be changed or updated without notice. Nothing here is intended, and nothing here should be construed, as advertising for legal services — Notarys Canada does not provide legal services.

The articles published on this site's blog are general information about notarial practice and publicly documented Ontario/Canada procedure, not legal advice, and reading them does not create a solicitor-client relationship. Government forms, fees, and procedures change — always confirm current requirements with the relevant office before relying on anything in an article.
