Notarizing documents online in Quebec

Quebec operates under a civil-law system, and its notaires hold a professional role that differs from common-law notaries public elsewhere in Canada. A Quebec notaire is a legal advisor and public officer who can draft and receive notarial acts. For many acts and signings, Quebec notaires can now work remotely using technology frameworks recognized by the Chambre des notaires du Québec, so a number of documents can be completed by secure video rather than in person.

That flexibility reaches Quebecers wherever they are — Montreal, Quebec City, Laval, Gatineau, Sherbrooke, or the regions. Because the rules around remote signing depend on the type of act and the technology used, confirming eligibility in advance is especially important in Quebec, and we do that before every appointment so there are no surprises.

Is online notarization legal in Quebec?

For eligible acts, yes. Quebec has established a recognized framework for notaires to complete certain signings remotely, and remote or electronic acts prepared within that framework are valid. Because Quebec's civil-law acts differ from common-law notarizations, and some acts must follow specific formalities, we always confirm which documents can be handled remotely for your situation before you book.
