How the Commissioning Process Works
Finding a Commissioner of Oaths Near Me in Toronto

Book Your Appointment
Contact us by phone, email, or online to schedule. Many appointments are available same-day or next-day. Walk-ins welcome when available.
Bring Your Document (Unsigned)
Bring your completed but unsigned documents. Because commissioning requires direct verification, you must sign exclusively in front of the commissioner.

You will swear an oath or make a solemn affirmation regarding the truth of the document. Then, you sign the paperwork in our presence.
Commissioner Signs & Seals
Finally, our commissioner signs and applies an official stamp, certifying your document for immediate legal use across Ontario.
Frequently Asked Questions
Certified as True Copy Document Verification & Commissioning FAQs
Can I have my document commissioned if I already signed it?
No, you must sign the document in person before the commissioner of oaths. Pre-signed documents are invalid, so please leave all signature lines blank until your appointment.
What ID do I need to bring?
You must present valid, government-issued photo ID such as a Canadian passport, driver’s licence, Ontario Photo Card, or Permanent Resident Card. Expired identification cannot be accepted.
Do I need a Commissioner of Oaths or a Notary Public?
A commissioner of oaths is sufficient for domestic affidavits and Ontario court documents. However, documents leaving Ontario or heading abroad require our Notary Public services.
Can a Commissioner of Oaths certify a copy of a document?
Under the Commissioners for taking Affidavits Act, a commissioner has limited powers. To have paperwork officially certified as true copy, book an appointment with our licensed notary public.
How much does commissioning cost?
Our commissioning fees are transparent and affordable. We charge standard flat rates per signature, and you can contact our office directly for a clear upfront quote.
Is there anything a Commissioner of Oaths cannot do?
A commissioner cannot draft wills, provide complex legal advice without a formal retainer, or authenticate foreign documents. For full representation, consult our About Us page or schedule a consultation.
