The Commissioners for Taking Oaths and Affidavits Act (issued by the Province) allows Municipal Clerks and other officials to take various types of declarations, to certify documents as true copies, and to administer oaths. A Commissioner’s stamp is affixed to the documents once the oath has been taken and signatures have been witnessed. All documents presented for a “true copy” must be original documents. The actual photocopy itself may be taken by the Commissioner in order to validate that it is an actual true copy of the original.
Following Documents can be commissioned:
- Declarations
- Sponsorship Letters
- Travel consent letters
- Pension documents
- Vehicle transfer forms
- Change of ownership forms
- Canadian Government related forms
- Statement of Conscience or Religious Belief
- Financial Institution forms
If anyone requiring commissioning services must provide at least one piece of valid Canadian government issued photo identification (e.g., Current drivers licence or passport). All affidavits presented for commissioning must be the entire document and must be signed in the presence of a Commissioner.
