Required identification & documents: The individual taking the oath and signing the document must present one original piece of valid government issued photo identification (i.e. driver's licence or passport). Please complete the document(s) to be commissioned beforehand, but do not sign in advance - the Commissioner must witness your signature.
Note: The Township does not provide Notary Public services and cannot certify true copies of documents. Our Commissioners will not sign the following:
- Wills *

- Probate Bare Trust Agreement
- Power of Attorney
- Divorce, Separation or Custody Documents
- Real Estate Documents *
- Estate Settlement Documents
- Documents related to finance (banking information, RRSP, etc.)

Please contact a Notary Public or lawyer who can notarize these documents.
Payment may be completed in person at your appointment time (cash, debit, credit, cheque). Do not complete an online payment until you have verified with a Commissioner that your document can be witnessed.
