Commissioning Documents
While these services remain a priority, for the time being we are temporarily suspending commissioning service appointments. We appreciate your patience and will resume this service as soon as possible.
The Town of LaSalle offers Commissioner of Oaths services for documents such as affidavits and statutory declarations.
What is a Commissioner of Oath?
A Commissioner of Oath is a person who is authorized by the Province of Ontario to take an oath when you sign an affidavit or statutory declaration. They are given this authority by the Commissioners for Taking Affidavits Act. The Commissioner is not responsible for the content of the affidavit, as it is the applicant who is swearing that the information is correct.
Town of LaSalle staff are not Notaries Public and cannot provide notarization. If your document specifically requires notarization rather than commissioning, you will need to find a Notary Public who can provide this service.
