Need a certified true copy, or a document commissioned? Our partnered Ontario Notary Public certifies copies of your IDs, records and credentials and commissions oaths — so your visa, immigration or apostille paperwork is accepted, while you keep the original.
Most visitors need a certified true copy. We also commission oaths and declarations at the same appointment.
A Notary Public examines your original document and certifies a photocopy as a true copy of it — sealed and signed. You submit the verified copy and keep your original.
Swear or affirm an oath, affirmation or solemn declaration before a Commissioner — for statutory declarations, consent letters, and sworn statements.
A certified (notarized) true copy is a photocopy of an original document that a Notary Public has compared against the original and certified — with a seal and signature — as a true and accurate copy.
It lets you hand a verified copy to an authority that needs proof of a document, while the original never leaves your hands. Many visa, immigration and apostille applications ask for certified copies of your IDs, criminal record check or credentials.
A short, in-person visit. Bring the original; leave with a sealed, signed certified copy.
Pick a notary location and time. No payment online.
The notary must see the original document in person.
A photocopy is checked, page by page, against the original.
The notary applies the seal and signature — $30 per seal.
Leave with your certified true copy; keep your original.
We suggest bringing your own photocopies to speed things up — but we can make the copies for you and certify them on the spot.
We certify true copies of a wide range of personal, government and institutional documents.
A few practical things that keep your appointment quick and your copies accepted.
The notary must hold the original document to certify a copy of it.
Bring your own copies to save time, or we can make them for you.
We can certify copies for someone else if you are authorised and we can see the original.
We certify black & white copies as standard — check with the receiving office if colour is required.
Each document is generally certified on its own page; ask us if an authority accepts several on one.
We seal the first page and stamp all pages together; separate seals are available on request for a small fee.
Notary services run by appointment at two of our locations. (Our other locations handle fingerprinting only.)
Unit 126 – 1454 Dundas St E, Mississauga, ON L4X 1L4
Unit 200 – 1750 Steeles Ave W, Vaughan, ON L4K 2L7
Both locations are open Monday to Saturday. Appointments are recommended so a notary is available when you arrive.
One of the most affordable quality notary services around. You pay at your appointment, never online.
The 30% multi-seal discount applies from your second seal onward. Separate per-page sealing carries a small additional fee when the receiving office requires it.
Many countries require your RCMP criminal record check or IDs to be apostilled before they can be used abroad — and apostille often starts with a certified copy. Doing it all under one roof saves you steps.
Book a notary appointment in Mississauga or Vaughan — bring your original and leave with a certified copy.
