Commissioning Documents

**Please read all of the following information before beginning your Appointment Request**  

 A Commissioner for Taking Affidavits is also known as a Commissioner of Oaths and the names are used interchangeably. A commissioner of Oaths/Affidavits is a person who the Province of Ontario authorizes to take an oath when you sign an affidavit or statutory declaration.

They are given this authority by the Commissioners for Taking Affidavits Act.

A Commissioner’s role is to administer the Oath or Affirmation and commission the signature of the person signing the document. A Commissioner, at their sole and unfettered discretion, may refuse to commission a document.

You must make and appointment for your documents to be commissioned. Our Commissioner services are available Tuesday’s from 9am – 1pm and Thursday’s from 1pm – 4pm, excluding holidays.

Upon review of your request, you will receive a confirmation email, confirming your selected date and time only. It is not, and we do not guarantee nor confirm that your documents can or will be commissioned.

All appointment requests must be made no later than 3pm the day before the desired appointment date.

All other appointment requests for dates and times outside the Commissioner’s availability on Tuesdays and Thursdays are considered to be urgent requests and you must provide a reason for the urgency. There is no guarantee that a Commissioner will accept your request for an urgent appointment.

You must attend your appointment with all required identification and documents. If the request is part of an application, you must also bring the completed application with all required documents listed in the application. If you attend your appointment without all the required documentation/identification the Commissioner will not administer the oath, and you will have to make a new appointment.

Please ensure that requested appointments fall only within our designated Commissioning Hours, on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s. 

All Appointment Requests are subject to rejection if we are unable to commission your document, or if your requested appointment date is not within our Commissioning Hours for non-Emergency requests.
