A notary public Edmonton residents can visit for affidavits, certified copies, travel letters and other documents.
Some documents are not valid unless a lawyer witnesses your signature or certifies a copy. A notary public Edmonton residents can visit saves you the back and forth with offices and agencies that will not accept your paperwork.
In Alberta, lawyers can act as notaries public and commissioners for oaths. At Gupta Law Services we notarize documents, commission affidavits and statutory declarations, and certify copies for use in Canada and abroad.
Bring government-issued photo ID and the unsigned document.
Choose the service you need.
Signature witnessing, certified copies and travel consent letters.
Affidavits, statutory declarations and oaths.
Many countries and airlines ask for a notarized consent letter.
IRCC and foreign authorities often need certified copies and affidavits.
Affidavits must be sworn before a commissioner for oaths.
Foreign agencies may need a notarization and an apostille.
You sign in front of the notary, and the notary confirms who you are.
A notary public confirms your identity and witnesses your signature. A commissioner for oaths administers oaths and declarations so that documents like affidavits can be used as sworn evidence. In Alberta, lawyers have both roles by virtue of their office.
You must sign in the notary’s presence, with valid government photo ID. The notary does not review the truth of the content, but checks that you understand it and that the document is complete. A notary cannot notarize a document that is blank or if you appear to be under pressure.
Documents used outside Canada may need more steps. For countries that are part of the Apostille Convention, a notarized document may be authenticated by the Government of Alberta. Other countries may require legalization through an embassy or consulate. Check the receiving agency’s requirements before you come.
If you need help drafting an affidavit, see our affidavit page. For certified copies and signature witnessing, see document notarization.
