Frequently asked questions
What should I bring to my appointment?
Bring valid government-issued photo identification and your documents. Printing is available in our office for a fee. Please do not sign any document that must be witnessed before the appointment, because we must see you sign.
What is a notary public?
A notary public is an authorized official who verifies identity, witnesses signatures and certifies documents so others can rely on them. Our notary services are provided by a lawyer and notary public.
What is a commissioner of oaths?
A commissioner of oaths can administer oaths and take affidavits and statutory declarations. We provide notary and commissioner of oaths services together.
Can you notarize documents virtually?
Yes, for eligible documents only. Eligibility depends on the nature and requirements of the document. Please email your document(s) to info@thelegalseed.com before your scheduled appointment, and do not sign them beforehand unless we instruct you to. We meet with you by video call. Printing and scanning of documents for virtual appointments may involve additional fees.

Yes. Mobile notary and commissioning services are available by appointment at your location. Travel services start at $150 + HST, depending on location, distance and travel time, in addition to the applicable notarial fees.

Additional witnesses can be arranged on request, subject to availability and additional fees.
What is a certified true copy?
A certified true copy is a copy of an original document that a notary confirms is a true and accurate copy. Please bring the original with you.

Documents for use abroad may need further steps, such as an apostille or legalization, depending on the country. We can tell you whether your document needs an apostille.
