Commissioner of Oaths

The Commissioners for Taking Affidavits Act allows Municipal Clerks and other Officials to take various types of declarations and to administer oaths. Documents requiring a Commissioner of Oaths and Affidavits can be commissioned at the Township Office. The request for Commissioner of Oaths service must be made by the same individual taking the oath and signing the document. There is no fee for the Township's Commissioner of Oaths service.

You are not required to book an appointment for a Commissioner of Oaths; however, walk-in appointments are based on availability of the Commissioner.  Complete your document before visiting the Township Office, but DO NOT sign the affidavit section of the document.  The Commissioner of Oaths will witness the signature(s) of person(s) who are affirming/declaring the contents of a document to be true. 

In the presence of the Township's Commissioner, you must:

  • present your completed document
  • present one piece of original and valid government-issued identification showing your name, photo and signature (photocopies, scanned copies and pictures on electronic devices will not be accepted)
  • additional identification pertaining to other individuals included in the affidavit (as required)
  • sign the affidavit section of the document in the presence of the Commissioner

 

There is no guarantee that a document can be commissioned until it is seen by the Commissioner. The Townships's Commissioner of Oaths reserves the right to refuse commissioning services of ANY document.

Under the Commissioners for Taking Affidavits Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. C. 17, the following documents listed below cannot be commissioned:

  • age of majority/Ontario photo ID applications

  • transfers of money or estates of a deceased person
  • wills, living wills, codicils (amendments) to a will
  • Forms which call upon a Commissioner of Oath, yet also request certified true copies of other documents as attachments. Because the Commissioner cannot certify attachments, they cannot sign the affixed application (as listed above, the only exception is that of a federal government permanent residency application);
  • Affidavits of true identity required for an applicant of a marriage license. These must be signed by a notary public.
  • certified true copies

 

Notary Public
