NotaryPro at Staples (University)

You can simply walk into any Staples location in Canada and enjoy instant service, without needing to book an appointment. If you’d like to book an appointment in advance, feel free to book an online notary appointment here.

NotaryPro offers online notary appointments from dedicated kiosks at Staples stores across Canada. You can meet with a notary public instantly, and have the helping hand of a Staples associate should you have any questions.

In Ontario, the law was officially amended to permit the remote commissioning of documents in 2020. The Commissioners for Taking Affidavits Act was updated with Ontario Regulation 431/20, establishing that commissioning can be executed remotely.

For a smooth notary appointment, please ensure:

• You have digital or physical copies of your document(s) ready
• You have valid, government-issued photo ID (passport, driver's license, permanent resident card, etc.)
• Ensure any witnesses are ready to join the call with their unique link. Witnesses must join from a separate device at Staples or from a different location.

You can have a variety of documents commissioned online at Staples, including but not limited to:

• Affidavits and Statutory Declarations
• Travel Consent Letters for minors
• Forms that require commissioning (for the government, post-secondary institutions, etc.)
• Business Agreements and Contracts

If you’re unsure whether your document is eligible for online commissioning, contact us, and we’ll happily assist you!
