What is a Notary Public?

A notary public is an official authorized to witness signatures, administer oaths, and certify copies of documents. The role of a notary is vital in a variety of contexts, including real estate transactions, legal proceedings, and international documentation. Notaries help to prevent fraud and ensure the integrity of the documents being notarized.

​

In Ontario, the Notaries Act governs the appointment and responsibilities of notaries public. The Act outlines who can serve as a notary, the scope of their duties, and the procedures they must follow.

​

Key Aspects of the Notaries Act

​

  1. Qualifications: To become a notary public in Ontario, individuals must either be licensed lawyers or meet specific criteria set by the Ministry of the Attorney General. Paralegals, who have undergone extensive training in legal matters, can also serve as notaries, provided they fulfill the necessary requirements.

  2. Duties and Powers: The Notaries Act delineates the duties of notaries, including witnessing signatures, administering oaths, and certifying documents. It also empowers them to create notarial certificates, which serve as proof that the notarial act was performed.

  3. Regulatory Oversight: Notaries are subject to regulatory oversight, ensuring that they adhere to ethical standards and maintain the integrity of their work.
