Notary Services
When you need a document notarized or an affidavit commissioned, you usually need it done quickly, correctly, and by someone you can trust. As a lawyer and notary public, Nasibeh Mehrpouyan can notarize documents, commission affidavits and statutory declarations, and certify true copies for use in Canada and abroad.
We regularly help newcomers, students, and families with documents for immigration, travel, real estate, school, and matters in other countries. Because notarization requirements differ depending on where a document will be used, we take the time to confirm exactly what you need before you attend.
Direct access to your lawyer at every stage, with clear, honest advice about your options.
We notarize signatures and documents for use within Canada and in other countries, confirming identity and witnessing signing in person.
We administer the oath or affirmation and commission affidavits and statutory declarations for use in Ontario proceedings and applications.
We compare a copy against the original and certify it as a true copy, a common requirement for passports, diplomas, and identity documents.
We prepare and notarize travel consent and parental authorization letters, often needed when a child travels with one parent or another adult.
We notarize and commission the declarations, invitation letters, and supporting documents frequently required for immigration and study applications.
We explain when a document needs further authentication and legalization for foreign use and how to complete those additional steps.
A notary public in Ontario can witness signatures, administer oaths and affirmations, certify that a copy is a true copy of an original, and notarize documents for use in Canada and internationally, while a commissioner for taking affidavits can administer oaths on affidavits and statutory declarations used within Ontario. Some documents intended for use in another country also require authentication and legalization, sometimes called an apostille, which is a further step handled through the province and the relevant consulate.
To be notarized, most documents must be signed in front of the notary, and you will need valid government photo identification. We will tell you in advance which service you need, what to bring, and whether any additional authentication step applies.
Plain-language answers to the questions we hear most. Every matter is different, so treat these as a starting point.
