Notary Public in Ottawa

Documents are often rejected when signatures, identification, copies, or declarations are not handled correctly. A notary appointment helps ensure the document is completed for its intended use.

Common notarization needs

Clients often need notarized copies, travel consent letters, declarations, affidavits, invitation letters, identity documents, school or employment documents, and other official paperwork.

What to bring

Bring government-issued identification, the original document, any copies that need certification, and instructions from the institution requesting the document.

Confirm requirements first

Different institutions may require specific wording, originals, witnesses, or supporting documents. Confirming the requirement before the appointment can save time.
