What Is an Instant Notary Service?

An instant notary service is a modern way to get your documents commissioned quickly and securely through a secure online notary platform. It uses real-time video technology to connect you with a licensed notary public or commissioner in 5 minutes. 

This process replaces the need for in-person notary appointments while maintaining full legal validity across Canada. It’s available 24/7, allowing you to have urgent documents commissioned whenever you need them.

Emergency Situations That Call for Instant Notary Services

The following are common situations where an instant notary service helps you save time and avoid costly delays.

1. Requiring a Travel Consent Letter Before a Flight

You’ve packed, checked in online, and are finally ready for that long-awaited trip with your child. Then the airline agent asks for a commissioned Travel Consent Letter from the non-accompanying parent, and you don’t have one. Finding an in-person notary now feels impossible.

With an instant notary service, you don’t have to miss your flight. The non-accompanying parent can upload their Travel Consent Letter in our online notary platform and meet a notary online in 5 minutes. 

Once done, the non-accompanying parent can immediately send the commissioned Travel Consent Letter to you so you’re cleared to travel. 

2. Getting a Letter of Invitation for a Visa Application

Your parents are flying in next week, and they have an embassy appointment tomorrow morning. You suddenly remembered that the consulate requires a commissioned Letter of Invitation from you to add more credibility to their visa application. It’s already late in the evening, local notary offices are closed, and rescheduling their embassy appointment would take weeks. The stress of possibly ruining their travel plans hits fast.

That’s when an instant notary service saves you. You simply upload your drafted Letter of Invitation and meet a licensed notary within 5 minutes. Once done, you email the Letter to your parents within the hour, solving the problem, and their flight is still on track.

3. Requiring CCDC 9A or 9B Forms in Construction

You’re a contractor wrapping up a major project. Payment depends on submitting a commissioned CCDC 9A or 9B form before the compliance deadline. But you’re still on-site, hours away from the nearest notary, and the paperwork must be submitted today. Missing the deadline could delay payments and stall the entire project.

Using an instant notary service, you can handle everything remotely. Within 7 minutes, the form is commissioned and ready to send to your client. No travel, no downtime, just quick, compliant completion so your project stays on schedule.

4. Submitting an OSAP Affidavit Before a Funding Deadline

You’re finalizing your OSAP application for the school year when you realize you have a missing document. Without complete documentation, your funding can’t be approved or released. In that case, you’ll need a commissioned OSAP Affidavit to confirm that your OSAP application’s details are true under oath.

OSAP deadlines are strict. Full-time applications close 60 days before your study period ends, and supporting documents must arrive at least 40 days before. Missing either window could delay your entire semester’s funding. 

An instant notary service solves that immediately. A notary can commission your OSAP Affidavit right on the call. Within 7 minutes, your Affidavit is complete and ready to send, keeping your funding on track without ever leaving home.

5. When You Need an Affidavit Verifying Corporate Signing Authority

Maybe your company just received a high-value contract that must be signed before the end of the day. The usual signing officer is unavailable, and the client won’t move forward until someone else is legally authorized to sign. You need a commissioned Affidavit Verifying Corporate Signing Authority to confirm your right to act on the company’s behalf.

With an instant notary service, you can have the Affidavit commissioned immediately, ensuring business doesn’t stall and the deal closes on time.

6. Creating an Affidavit of Support for a Study Permit

Your relative is sponsoring your education in Canada, and IRCC requires proof that they can financially support you. To complete your study permit application, you’ll need a commissioned Affidavit of Support. Since visa processing can take weeks, submitting early helps ensure timely visa approval before your program begins.

An instant notary service makes it easier and faster for your sponsor to meet with a licensed notary online. Their Affidavit of Support can be commissioned the same day, and send it to you immediately.

7. Submitting an Affidavit of Service for a Court Filing

You’ve served court documents, but the Affidavit of Service confirming delivery must be filed before the court’s deadline. If it’s late, the case could be delayed or even dismissed. Visiting a notary in person may not be realistic. With an instant notary service, you can commission the Affidavit quickly from anywhere, ensuring it’s ready to file the same day. 

How Does NotaryPro’s Instant Notary Service Work?

Our instant notary service involves commissioning your legal document online. Commissioning means signing a legal document in front of an authorized official, such as a notary public or commissioner for taking affidavits.

During commissioning, a notary verifies your identification, witnesses your signature, and applies a digital seal of commissioning to confirm its authenticity. You’ll also make an oath or affirmation, stating that the information you’ve provided on a document is true, accurate, and complete. To learn more about the commissioning process, read our guide on preparing for an online notary appointment. 

NotaryPro’s instant notary service delivers the commissioning process with exceptional speed and reliability. Our secure platform will connect you to a live notary within 5 minutes, and the whole notary experience occurs in 7 minutes.
