FAQs

Got a question? We’re here to help.
  • How much do your services cost?

    Our services are priced simply to avoid confusion and pass on savings to you. Each document is only $10 (plus HST).

  • Why are your costs so low?

    Our costs are only seen as low because notaries in Toronto have overcharged for their services for decades. The act of commissioning an oath, notarizing a document, or witnessing a signature takes five minutes (oftentimes less). Notary-toronto.ca firmly believes that the public should not be penalized because of a lack of competition artificially inflating the price.  

  • What type of payment methods do you accept?

    We accept debit and credit cards (including Mastercard and American Express). We do not carry any change and prefer payment by card, however, if you have exact change we can certainly accept cash. 


    We also accept Google Pay and Apple Pay! You can also pay using your banking app on your phone (only for those configured to be used as a banking card). 

  • Do I need a coloured seal when having my documents notarized?

    No. A notarial impression creates a raised edge on the notarized document and has the same legal effect as if there was a coloured seal underneath. Some customers prefer a coloured seal placed over the notarial impression. Notary-toronto.ca charges $1 extra for every coloured seal requested by our clients.  

  • Are your notaries official notaries?

    Yes, all of our notaries have been appointed by the Ministry of the Attorney General of Ontario. In order to be a notary in Ontario you must first be a lawyer. All of our notaries have been appointed by the Ministry of the Attorney General of Ontario. In Ontario, notarial commissions do not expire as long as the notary maintains their name on the rolls of the Law Society of Ontario. All notaries working on our behalf maintain their names on the rolls of the Law Society and are fully licensed to provide notary services in Ontario. Please feel free to contact us to set up an appointment.

  • Do I need an appointment?

    Yes, you need an appointment. Please click the Book an Appointment button found in the top right hand corner of the website.


  • Will the notary look over my document?

    The notary will not look over your document before you sign it. The notary is not providing legal advice and cannot consult with you regarding the accuracy of the information. The notary will request your identification to confirm you are who you say you are.  

  • Do you guarantee your work?

    Yes, Notary Assist Inc. guarantees the work of all of our notaries. In the unlikely event that a mistake occurs, we will re-notarize your document for free.

  • The document I want notarized is not in English, can you help?

    Yes! A notary is not giving advice on the content of the document, rather, confirming that you are the person signing the document or requesting a true copy. The notary will witness your signature or make a true copy of an original document.  

  • I need an electronic document notarized, can you help?

    Yes! However, you will need to sign into the website to allow the Notary to view the electronic document you wish notarized. The Notary will then print and notarize the document. The Notary will make a note on the document that they have viewed the original online, the website where the document was found, and that it is a true copy of the online version.
