FAQ – Document Authentication

Notary Public – Frequently Asked Questions

Understanding what to bring and what to expect makes the process much smoother. Read our clear answers to the most common questions regarding notarization and document authentication.
What exactly does a Notary Public do in BC?
As lawyers and Notaries Public, we act as official, impartial witnesses to the signing of legal documents. We verify your identity, ensure you understand the document you are signing, and administer oaths to prevent fraud and establish legal authenticity.
You must bring at least two pieces of valid identification. One must be a government-issued photo ID (like a Passport or BC Driver’s License), and the second can be a credit card, CareCard, or another official document with your name.
Yes, absolutely. We frequently authenticate copies of original documents such as university degrees, birth certificates, and passports. You must bring the original document with you so we can visually compare it before applying our official seal.
A Statutory Declaration is a formal, written statement of facts that you sign and declare to be true under oath. We commonly administer these for lost passports, common-law union declarations, and name change applications.
We certainly do. If you are inviting a family member or friend to visit Canada, we will help you draft a legally sound Letter of Invitation and officially notarize it to strengthen their temporary resident visa application.
We can witness your signature on a foreign language document, but we cannot certify the accuracy of its contents if we do not speak the language. We will add a disclaimer to our seal stating that we are only verifying your identity and signature.
An apostille is an international certification that authenticates the origin of a public document. While we cannot issue the apostille ourselves (that is done by the provincial or federal government), we will notarize your document and guide you exactly on how to get it apostilled for international use.
Yes, this is a very common request. We draft and formally witness travel consent letters to ensure that border authorities have the legal proof they need when a minor travels outside of Canada with only one parent or another adult.
While we do our best to accommodate urgent walk-ins, we highly recommend calling or emailing us to book an appointment. This ensures we have a lawyer available to review your specific documents without keeping you waiting.
A standard notarization simply verifies your identity and signature. However, because we are fully licensed lawyers, we can absolutely provide in-depth legal advice regarding the contents and implications of your document if you request a legal consultation prior to signing.
