COVID-19 & Notary Public Services

The COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak is a grave threat to public health. Given the in-person, face-to-face nature of notary public services, Notary Pro Canada is treating this situation with the utmost caution, as we place the health of our team and you – our clients – as the top priority.

The COVID-19 threat has necessitated strict Health and Safety Protocols and operational changes at Notary Pro Canada, as follows:

  1. Please be aware that effective March 14, 2020, we will only be accepting debit and credit card payments (via contactless tap and chip) and we will not accept cash. This is an effort to further minimize the risk to everyone posed by the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak.
  2. Pre-Payment Online: You can now pre-pay for your notary service online through the intake form when booking your appointment. Please be sure to pay for the correct number of documents being notarized.
  3. Document Upload Option: Clients can now upload digital copies of their documents and their identity cards via the online intake form when booking an appointment.
    1. Your notary can print the document, sign it in advance, and review your identity card electronically.
    2. At the scheduled appointment time, you will present your ID, sign the document(s), and pay for your notarized document via debit or credit.
    3. Or, pre-pay for your notary service online when completing the intake form.

We trust that you will appreciate these essential health and safety protocols in light of the major threat to everyone’s health presented by the COVID-19 outbreak.

NotaryPro Technologies Inc. © 2024 All rights reserved

NotaryPro provides in-person, virtual commissioning and virtual witnessing services in compliance with the laws and regulations of Ontario, Canada. Our services are performed by licensed legal professionals, including commissioners for taking affidavits and other authorized professionals, who are duly authorized to administer oaths, affirmations, and statutory declarations in accordance with the Commissioners for Taking Affidavits Act (Ontario) and related provincial legislation.

Online or remote notarization is not yet explicitly regulated under Ontario law. As a result, NotaryPro does not provide online notarial services, including the digital notarization of documents. Any references on our platform to terms such as ""notary,"" ""online notary,"" ""notarize online,"" or similar expressions are used strictly in an informal and descriptive manner. These references relate exclusively to our legally recognized remote/virtual commissioning and virtual witnessing services, which are distinct from notarial acts.

NotaryPro is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice, legal representation, or legal opinions. While we facilitate virtual commissioning and virtual witnessing services, we do not offer legal guidance on the validity, enforceability, or acceptance of documents by third parties.

If you require legal advice regarding the execution, validity, or use of a document, we strongly recommend consulting a qualified lawyer or other legal professionals. Additionally, before proceeding with virtual commissioning, virtual witnessing, or electronic document execution, it is advisable to verify acceptance with the intended recipient(s), such as courts, government agencies, or other institutions.
