Important information for U.S. residents
- Canadian sworn documents (affidavit, declaration, child travel consent, proof of address, etc.) are generally required to be sworn under Canadian legislation before a duly appointed Canadian Commissioner for Oaths. If you live in the USA, this is typically the official responsible for administering oaths on Canadian documents.
- A U.S. Notary Public is often not authorized to administer sworn statements for documents governed by Canadian law. In most cases, Canadian authorities expect these documents to be sworn before a Canadian Commissioner for Oaths.
- We provide this service 100% online by secure videoconference, even if you are located in the United States.
- See the U.S. Residents FAQ section below for more details.

8 FAQ – Important information for U.S. residents
If you live in the United States and need a Canadian sworn document (affidavit, statutory declaration, child travel consent, proof of address, etc.), please note that these documents are generally required to be sworn under Canadian legislation. In many situations, a U.S. Notary Public may not have the authority required for Canadian sworn statements. These documents are typically sworn before a Canadian Commissioner for Oaths.
This role is different from a U.S. Notary Public, but for Canadian law it plays a similar practical function: checking identity and receiving sworn statements on Canadian forms. Our service is for Canadian documents only and does not replace a U.S. notary for U.S. law.
1. What is a Commissioner for Oaths in Québec?
A Commissioner for Oaths is an official appointed under Québec law to administer oaths and solemn declarations on Canadian documents. In practice, we verify your identity, watch you sign, and receive your oath or affirmation that the information is true. We then add our name, title and commission number on the document to confirm that an oath was taken.
2. Is this the same as a U.S. Notary Public?
No. A Commissioner for Oaths is not a U.S. Notary Public and does not perform U.S. notarial acts. A notary public can certify copies and notarize documents for use under U.S. law. A Commissioner for Oaths is limited to receiving oaths on Canadian documents. For Canadian forms that mention “Commissioner for Oaths” (or “Notary Public or Commissioner for Oaths”), our service is usually appropriate, but it is legally distinct from a U.S. notarial service.
3. Can I use this service if I live in the United States?
Yes. Québec rules allow oaths to be administered remotely by videoconference. You can be physically in the U.S. while we are in Québec, as long as we can see and hear you in real time, verify your ID, and watch you sign your Canadian document.
4. Will a document sworn online from the U.S. be accepted in Canada?
In general, a document sworn by videoconference before a duly appointed Canadian Commissioner for Oaths has the same legal effect as if it were sworn in person, as long as all legal requirements are met (identity verification, date, place, signature, commission number, etc.). However, each authority (for example IRCC, a provincial ministry, a court) remains free to set its own rules, so if you are unsure you should confirm directly with the requesting institution or consult a lawyer. This FAQ is general information only and not legal advice.
5. What types of Canadian documents can you commission online?
We can administer oaths on Canadian documents only, such as:
- Affidavits (loss, identity, general affidavits for Canadian courts or agencies);
- Statutory declarations required by Canadian authorities, including IRCC forms like IMM 5409 or IMM 5604 when they allow a Commissioner for Oaths;
- Child travel consent letters and other sworn consent/authorization letters for Canada;
- Proof of address or residency letters, family and immigration declarations;
- Lost or stolen document declarations (Canadian passport, PR card, ID, etc.).
We do not handle documents that are intended to be used under U.S. law only. In those cases, you should use a U.S. notary public.
6. My form says “notarized”. Can a Commissioner for Oaths sign instead?
If the form is a Canadian form and it indicates that it can be signed before a “Commissioner for Oaths” or “Notary Public or Commissioner for Oaths”, our service is normally suitable and our signature will act as the sworn statement required by Canadian law. If the document mentions only a notary and never refers to a Commissioner, or if it is for a non-Canadian authority, you should double-check with the institution or get independent legal advice before booking.
7. How does the online appointment work in practice?
The process is simple:
- You book an appointment in our online calendar;
- At the scheduled time, you join the videoconference from your phone or computer;
- We verify your identity with your photo ID and review your document;
- You sign the document during the call and we administer the oath or solemn affirmation;
- We then sign and complete the commissioner’s section and send you the sworn document by email.
8. What should I prepare before the video call?
Please prepare:
- A valid government-issued photo ID (passport, driver’s licence, etc.);
- Your Canadian document filled out but not yet signed (signature and date must be done during the session);
- A device with camera, microphone and stable internet (phone, tablet or computer);
- A quiet and private space so we can clearly see and hear you.
9. How long does it take and how will I receive my sworn document?
Most appointments take about 10–15 minutes. After the session, once both you and the Commissioner have signed, the document is officially sworn. You will typically receive a PDF copy by email with all required information (our signature, commission details, date and place).
10. Can you notarize documents or certify true copies?
No. A Commissioner for Oaths cannot notarize documents, certify copies as “true copies”, or perform other notarial acts. Those services must be done by a notary public or lawyer authorized to do so. Our mandate is limited to administering oaths and declarations on Canadian documents.
11. Do you give legal advice or help me write my document?
No. We act in a neutral and administrative role only. We do not provide legal advice and we do not draft or correct the content of your statements. All information on this page is general information only and should not be interpreted as legal advice. If you have questions about what you should write or whether this procedure is appropriate for your situation, you should consult a qualified lawyer before booking.
12. How can I be sure this service is legitimate?
Our online appointments are carried out by a duly appointed Commissioner for Oaths in Québec. Every commissioner has an official commission number and expiry date issued by the Ministère de la Justice du Québec. Our full details (name, title, commission number and jurisdiction) appear on your documents, and we can provide proof of appointment on request. This ensures that your Canadian document is sworn before a legally authorized officer, as required by Canadian law.
Important: This FAQ explains how our Canadian oath-taking service works for U.S. residents. It does not replace legal advice. For any complex situation or if you are unsure whether our service is appropriate, please consult a lawyer or confirm directly with the authority requesting your document.
