About Us

Modern Notarization, Built on Trust

The Online Notary is a secure, fully compliant platform for remote commissioning and virtual document witnessing. We help individuals and businesses get affidavits, statutory declarations, certified true copies, consent-to-travel letters, and invitation letters completed online — without the hassle of booking an in-person appointment or travelling to an office. Sessions take under eight minutes, identity is verified over secure video, and every finished document carries a tamper-evident digital seal.

Our service is built for anyone who needs a document commissioned or witnessed quickly and reliably: families arranging travel consent letters for children, professionals swearing affidavits, newcomers preparing invitation letters for relatives overseas, and businesses managing high volumes of legal paperwork. Because every session is conducted remotely, clients can connect from anywhere in Ontario or across Canada — all that's needed is a device, a camera, and a valid piece of identification.

The Online Notary is built and operated by a team of commissioners for taking affidavits and other professionals empowered by Ontario law to administer oaths, solemn affirmations, and statutory declarations under the Commissioners for Taking Affidavits Act and related statutes. We combine that legal authority with modern technology to make a traditionally slow, paper-bound process fast, transparent, and accessible — while staying fully compliant with Ontario's regulatory framework. Our mission is simple: make trusted, legally recognized document commissioning available to everyone, wherever they are.

Legally Compliant

Every session follows Ontario's Commissioners for Taking Affidavits Act and related statutes, so your documents are recognized and binding.

Secure & Private

Identity is verified over secure video, and each completed document carries a tamper-evident digital seal for your protection.

Accessible Anywhere

Whether you're across town or across the world, you can commission and witness documents online without stepping into an office.

Built for People

From families arranging travel letters to businesses managing affidavits, we make a traditionally slow process fast and human.

Disclaimer

The Online Notary provides in-person and remote or virtual commissioning and document-witnessing services, which may be casually described as "online notary" or "online notarization," while remaining fully compliant with Ontario's legal and regulatory framework. Our services are delivered by properly authorized professionals, including commissioners for taking affidavits and other individuals empowered by law to administer oaths, solemn affirmations, and statutory declarations under the Commissioners for Taking Affidavits Act (Ontario) and related statutes.

Online or remote notarization is not currently recognized as a formal notarial act under Ontario law. For this reason, The Online Notary does not conduct online notarial acts, such as the end-to-end digital notarization of documents. Any use of terms like "notary," "online notary," or "notarize online" on this site is purely informal and descriptive, and is not intended to suggest that formal notarial acts are performed remotely. These references relate exclusively to our compliant remote commissioning and virtual witnessing offerings, which are legally distinct from traditional notarial acts that must be completed in person by a notary public.
