Document Commissioning
A Commissioner for Taking Affidavits/Commissioner of Oaths is an individual who, by virtue of their office or by appointment through the Ministry of the Attorney Governor for the Province of Ontario, has the authority to administer an oath and take affidavits, declarations and affirmations. A Commissioner's stamp and seal is affixed to the document once the oath has been taken and signatures have been sworn.
Those requiring the service of a Commissioner should contact the Office of the Clerk prior to attending City Hall to book an appointment. The person swearing or affirming to a document must appear before the Commissioner of Oaths. Proper identification such as a valid driver's license, current passport or any other government issued photo identification must be presented.
In the event you do not have photo identification, the Office of the City Clerk will not commission the document.
Please contact the Office of the Clerk to book an appointment for document commissioning.
Please call 905-227-6613 or email for an appointment.
The City cannot notarize documents. A list of Notary Publics and Lawyers who notarize documents can be found in a telephone directory or online.
