At Notary Lawyer North York, we also specialize in preparing, witnessing, and notarizing Statutory Declarations, which are legally binding written statements declared to be true. Although they are not sworn like affidavits, they carry the same legal effect, and providing false information in a statutory declaration is a criminal offense in Canada.
A Statutory Declaration is a formal written statement used to confirm facts for legal, business, or government purposes. The declarant (the person making the declaration) must appear in person before a Notary Public, Commissioner of Oaths, or other authorized official to declare that the information is true.
The declaration is then signed and sealed, making it legally valid.
Statutory Declarations are often required in a wide range of situations, including:
Government agencies, employers, courts, and private institutions frequently request statutory declarations as part of their processes.
The declarant must appear in person before the notary or commissioner, present valid photo identification, and read or affirm the declaration. The official will then ask the declarant to confirm that the contents are true.
The standard declaration is:
“Do you make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing it to be true and knowing that it is of the same force and effect as if made under oath?”
Once confirmed, the document is signed and notarized.
By choosing Notary Lawyer North York, you ensure that your statutory declaration is valid, properly administered, and ready for submission to any Canadian or international authority.
