King Township residents and businesses can now conveniently book appointments for Commissioner of Oath services online, thanks to the new online booking system launched by the Township.

A Commissioner of Oath is empowered by the Commissioners for Taking Affidavits Act to take various types of declarations and to administer oaths, and to witness the signing of important documents, such as affidavits, statutory declarations, and pension documents from foreign countries.

The new Commissioner of Oath online booking service ensures that residents and businesses have convenient 24-hour access to the booking system, to request appointments with a Commissioner.  

Please note that the Township’s Commissioners of Oath are not authorized to sign certain documents, including wills, real estate, legal and financial-related documents. For these services, residents are encouraged to contact a Notary Public or lawyer.

To guarantee the availability of a Commissioner when visiting the office, it is highly recommended to book an appointment in advance through the new online system. Appointments can also be made by contacting ServiceKing at 905-833-5321.

The 2024 fee for the service is $20 (plus HST) for King Township residents and businesses and $26 (plus HST) for non-residents and businesses. 

During appointments, individuals must bring valid government-issued photo identification which supports their signature, photo and date of birth, such as a driver’s license or passport. Documents should be completed beforehand but not signed, as the Commissioner must witness the signature in person.

For more information or to schedule an appointment, please visit king.ca/commissioner or call ServiceKing at 905-833-5321.
