What is a Commissioner of Oaths?

A Commissioner of Oaths is a person who is authorized by the Province of Ontario to take an oath when you sign an affidavit or statutory declaration. They are given this authority by the Ministry of the Attorney General. The Commissioner is not responsible for the content of the affidavit.

A Commissioner of Oaths is not a Notary Public. If you require a document to be "notarized" as opposed to "commissioned", the person who administers the oath or affidavit is a Notary Public. This is generally a lawyer and not a Commissioner of Oaths. The Township does not have a Notary Public.

You must present one original piece of photo identification in the form of government-issued photo identification. (i.e. a valid driver’s license, a valid passport or a BYID age-of-majority card)
