Which documents can be notarized remotely?
Most everyday notarizations in Canada can now be completed over live video: affidavits, statutory declarations, powers of attorney, travel consent letters, and certified true copies all fall within remote practice in most provinces. The notary verifies your identity on camera, administers any required oath, witnesses your signature, and applies their signature and seal.
There are real limits. Certain wills, some estate filings, and specific land-registry matters may still require an in-person process or a lawyer's involvement, and individual banks or registries sometimes insist on a wet-ink original. Because the receiving institution often sets its own requirements, we confirm your specific document is eligible before you book — at no charge.
Where the province matters
Remote notarization is regulated provincially, so the rules that apply depend on where you are and where the document is going. Witness requirements for powers of attorney are the clearest example: several provinces require one or two witnesses in addition to the notary and disqualify close relatives or the appointed attorney. See our province pages for detail, or read how the process works end to end.
