Is a Toronto Notary Public Service Right for You?
You need a Toronto notary public when an institution will not accept your document on your word alone and demands a notary's signature and seal, a sworn oath, or a certified copy of an original. This service fits the person or business holding a document that has to satisfy a court, a government body, a bank, or a party abroad. It is the right fit if any of these describes your situation:
You need an affidavit or statutory declaration sworn or affirmed before a notary or commissioner in Ontario.
You need an invitation or sponsorship letter notarized for a parent, grandparent, or visitor, often for a super visa or visitor visa application.
You need a certified true copy of a passport, citizenship certificate, PR card, diploma, or other identity document.
You need a travel consent letter notarized for a minor child travelling internationally.
You need a real estate, mortgage, or vehicle ownership document notarized for a closing or transfer.
Your document is destined for use outside Canada and must be notarized before authentication or apostille.
For the overview of the service rather than a Toronto appointment, see our notary services page.
What Mirzoyan Immigration Services Notarizes and Commissions
The firm applies the notarial certificate, signature, and seal, or commissions the oath, across the documents clients bring most often. The live menu spans personal, immigration, real estate, and corporate paperwork.
- Affidavits and statutory declarations, including affidavit of service, sworn statement for a family gift of a used vehicle, and affidavit of marital status or dependents.
- Certified true copies of a Canadian passport, citizenship certificate, birth certificate, driver's licence, diploma, degree, and other identity documents.
- Immigration-related letters and forms, including travel consent letters, invitation letters, and forms filed with permanent residence, study permit, and visitor visa applications.
- Real estate and financial documents, including closing documents, mortgage documents, acknowledgment and directions, promissory notes, loan agreements, and bank documents.
- Corporate and commercial documents, including corporate resolutions, share or asset purchase agreements, commercial and residential leases, and letters of intent.
This list is not exhaustive. If a document is not named here, the firm can usually still assist, so ask when you book. The notary verifies your identity against government-issued photo ID, witnesses any signature executed in person, administers the oath or affirmation, compares an original to the copy being certified, and applies the seal. The notary does not perform apostille or authentication, which runs through Global Affairs Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery as a separate step.

How a Toronto Notary appointment works
Plan your Toronto notary appointment in five steps.
Book the right appointment. Choose an in-person, online or virtual-witnessing option, and confirm that the format fits your document. Tell us the document type and the number of signatures or copies you need.
Get your documents and ID ready. Bring valid government-issued photo ID and the receiving organization’s instructions. Have the original document available when you need a certified true copy.
Attend the confirmed appointment. Follow the booking instructions for your appointment format and make sure every required signer is available. Leave signatures blank when they must be witnessed.
Complete the requested notarization or commissioning. The appointment may involve witnessing a signature, taking an oath or affirmation, or comparing an original with a copy. Follow the instructions for the service you booked.
Check what comes next. Confirm the document’s return arrangements. If it will be used abroad, check whether the recipient also requires authentication, apostille or another step.
Check the booking calendar for available times.
Typical Toronto Notary Timeline and Fees
A typical Toronto notary appointment runs 15 to 30 minutes per document, and same-day slots are usually available in Toronto and North York on weekdays. The fee is a flat charge per notarization, not per page. The published schedule starts from $29.95 for the first notarization (signature and seal) and $14.95 for each additional notarization at the same appointment, for non-power-of-attorney documents. Power-of-attorney documents are quoted separately. Ontario sets no separate government fee for notarization, so the flat fee is the entire amount you pay for the notary step. Authentication and apostille, when a document is used abroad, carry their own separate government fees, paid to ODS at the provincial office, not to the firm. For the firm's published rates across all document services, see our flat-fee structure, and book a notary appointment to confirm the current fee for your set of documents.
Need a document notarized?
Book a notary appointment with a licensed Ontario paralegal, in person, by appointment, in Toronto or North York. Bring the original document and valid photo ID, and most appointments finish in one visit. Service in English, Russian, and Armenian.
Notary fees and appointment timing
| Notary service | Fee (CAD, before tax) | Appointment timing |
|---|---|---|
| First notary signature | $29.95 | Toronto and North York in-person bookings list 15-minute slots. Confirm suitability for your documents. |
| Additional notary signatures, 2nd through 10th | $14.95 each | Confirm that your selected appointment allows for the number and type of documents. |
| Canadian power of attorney or last will | $64.95 | Confirm the appropriate appointment type and its booked length before selecting a time. |
The verified Toronto and North York in-person booking options each reserve a 15-minute slot. This is the booked appointment length, not a guarantee that every document can be completed within that time. Online notary and virtual-witnessing options have their own appointment descriptions; confirm their applicable fees, scope and duration when booking. Authentication, apostille, translation and delivery are separate if needed, with their costs and timing confirmed separately.
Preparing for your Toronto notary appointment
Start with a quick document check so your appointment can focus on what you need done. Keep the document, your ID and any instructions together, ready for your appointment.
Bring the final version. Check names, dates and missing pages before you arrive. Bring the original when you need a certified copy; a phone photo is not a substitute.
Leave the right spaces blank. If a signature must be witnessed, wait for the appointment instructions before signing. Complete other details only as the form requires.
Plan for everyone who must sign. Check how many signers, signatures and copies are needed. Confirm any witness arrangements when booking, especially for a virtual-witnessing appointment.
Keep the recipient’s instructions handy. Bring the email, form or checklist from the bank, school, government office or other organization. Flag any required wording, translation or document format.
Tell us about your deadline. Mention when and where you will use the document before booking. Separate translation, delivery, authentication or apostille steps may need their own arrangements.
Unsure what to bring? Ask about your document before the appointment so you can arrive prepared.
Prepare your documents for their next step
Bring the instructions from the organization receiving your document, including any required wording, witness details or rules about copies. Have your original documents and valid photo ID ready, and leave signatures blank when they must be witnessed.
Before booking, check the number of documents, required signers and intended destination. Knowing these requirements before your appointment helps you bring the right documents and avoid missing signatures or copies.
Our notary’s signature and seal are on file with Ontario Official Documents Services (ODS). ODS compares signatures and seals on eligible documents for authentication or apostille. Further steps depend on the document and where it will be used.

A notary public at Mirzoyan Immigration Services in Toronto starts from $29.95 for the first notarization (signature and seal) and $14.95 for each additional notarization at the same appointment. The fee is charged per notarization, not per page. Ontario sets no separate government notary fee, so the flat fee is the entire cost. Book a Toronto notary appointment to confirm the current fee for your documents.
-
Yes, in most cases. Same-day notary appointments are usually available in Toronto and North York on weekdays, subject to a notary being on site and not in another appointment. Booking online is the only way to guarantee a slot, since walk-ins cannot be guaranteed. Bring the original document and valid government-issued photo ID so the appointment finishes in one visit.
-
Notarization is the first step: a notary verifies identity and witnesses the signature or certifies the copy. Authentication and apostille come after. Global Affairs Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery verify the notary's signature so a foreign government will accept the document. A notarized document alone is often rejected at a consulate when the destination country also requires the apostille step.
-
Booking online guarantees your slot. Same-day appointments are usually available in Toronto and North York on weekdays. A walk-in may be accommodated when a notary is on site and free, but that is never guaranteed, so booking is the reliable route. Ontario law requires you to attend in person, since the notary must witness the signature or compare the original to the copy.
-
The firm notarizes and commissions affidavits, statutory declarations, certified true copies, travel consent letters, invitation and sponsorship letters, real estate and mortgage documents, and corporate authorizations. It cannot certify a copy without seeing the original, administer an oath in a language the signer does not understand without a certified translator, witness a will except as a regular witness, or perform apostille and document authentication, which is a separate government step.
