What does commissioning a document mean?
A Commissioner for Oaths (also called a Commissioner for taking Affidavits) is authorised to witness you swear an oath, make an affirmation, or sign a solemn declaration — your formal statement that what a document says is true.
You bring a completed document, confirm your identity, swear or affirm it before the Commissioner, then sign it in their presence. They witness your signature, sign, and add their stamp — and you walk out with it the same visit.

What commissioning is — and what it isn't
Commissioning is about witnessing your sworn signature — not about the contents of your document. Knowing the line keeps your appointment quick and your document accepted.
Within our mandate
What a Commissioner does
- Confirms your identity
- Administers your oath, affirmation or declaration
- Witnesses you sign, in person
- Signs and applies their official stamp
Outside our mandate
What we don't do
- Give legal advice of any kind
- Verify or vouch for what your document says
- Draft or complete your document for you
We can't commission Wills, Powers of Attorney, or Divorce / Separation documents.
For those, please consult a lawyer or a notary qualified to handle them.
Your appointment, step by step
A short, in-person appointment. Bring your completed document; leave with it sworn, signed and witnessed.
-
ID verification
The Commissioner checks your government-issued photo ID.
-
Document review & oath
They review your document, then administer the right oath, affirmation or declaration.

Sign before the Commissioner
You sign in the right places, in their presence. They witness it, sign, and add their stamp.

Take your document
Your sworn, witnessed document is handed back to you on the spot.
