Commissioner vs Notary Public

A Commissioner for Taking Affidavits and a Notary Public do not necessarily have the same authority.

If your document specifically requires notarization, certification of a true copy or a Notary Public, please confirm the required service before booking.

Ontario regulates commissioners under the Commissioners for Taking Affidavits Act and related regulations.
