You must schedule an appointment before attending Town Hall.
Commissioner of Oaths Services
A Commissioner of Oaths is appointed under the Commissioners for Taking Affidavits Act to administer oaths and take affidavits, declarations, and affirmations. The Commissioner is not responsible for the content of the affidavit or declaration.
To confirm your document can be commissioned by a Town Commissioner and to arrange an appointment, please call 519.735.2184. A fee of $15.00 is payable as outlined in the Town’s Fees and Charges Bylaw. The witnessing of foreign pension forms will continue to be provided at no charge to the pensioner.
Notary Public Services
A Notary Public is authorized by the Notaries Act to commission documents, certify or notarize documents as true copies and to verify signatures. The requirements to be a Notary Public are stricter than that of a Commissioner of Oaths and the person is likely also a licenced lawyer. If your document must be “notarized” as opposed to “commissioned”, it is likely to ensure the person administering the oath is a licenced lawyer.
You must contact the Town in advance to confirm your document can be notarized and to arrange an appointment, if possible. A fee of $45.00 is payable as outlined in the Town’s Fees and Charges Bylaw.
You must bring valid government issued photo identification, which includes your full name as noted on the document to be commissioned/notarized, your address, likeness, and signature.
