Toronto Notary Public $13.28 - Name Change Application - Commissioner for Taking Affidavits in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

10/7/2014

If you just got married, you do not have to legally or formally change your last name. You have the following options:
1. Keep your last name
2. Assume your spouse's last name
3. Combine yours and your spouse's last names with a space in between, or
4. Combine the last names with a hyphen

Many institutions will assist with the processing of your new assumed last name by evidence or proof of a marriage certificate and a current valid photo id plus a small fee.

In the event you decide to legally and formally change your name to a completely different name or just your last name, you can get more information and the application from the link here {Name Change Application and Information}. You will need tocontact a commissioner of oaths to sign and seal the declaration statement within the Application. You will need to provide additional information about yourself to complete the legal name change process. The administrative fee for this option is also higher than the option to assume your spouse's last name as mentioned above.

There may be instances where you may need to declare or assume a name other than your legal name for trade or business purposes, for example, for real estate licensing registration in Ontario. Or you may need to clarify spelling errors or errors in date of birth or lack of evidence of a birth certificate etc. for immigration purposes, then an Affidavit may be required to be submitted to explain or clarify the irregularities or discrepancies. This Affidavit needs to be sworn before a Commissioner of Oaths. I welcome your request for a sample template via email at [email protected].

Toronto Notary Public $13.28 - Common-Law Union Declaration Commissioner Seal and Signature

10/7/2014

Statutory Declaration of Common-law Union

A statutory declaration of common-law union is often required for various purposes by governmental agencies, both in Canada and other countries around the world where common-law relationship is also legally recognized. The legal definition of a common law relationship depends on the legislation, matter, and circumstances ranging from living together over a 12-month period to 36-month duration caring for a child.

The specific format or template depends on which agency requires such declaration to be executed before a commissioner of oaths. Often these agencies have their own template that must be completed by the applicant(s)/affiant(s)/declarant(s). Therefore, one should contact the agency directly to seek advice where and how to obtain such statutory declaration template.

If the agency does not have a formal form or template of its own, then it is certainly acceptable to execute a general statutory declaration to address the issues directed at supporting the common-law relationship between individuals. These issues may include, but not limited to, the place, date or circumstance that formed the relationship as well as description regarding shared properties in title/name between the individuals, such as bank accounts. You may contact my office via email at[email protected] for a sample template.

The following are some example scenarios where a statutory declaration of common-law union may be required to be commissioned before a notary public or a commissioner of oaths:

Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union for Immigration purposes.
Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union for application for benefits under the Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security Act.
Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union for court related matters.
Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union to purchase or sell real estate property.
Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union for OSAP application.
Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union for same-sex relationship.
Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union to use your common-law partner’s last name.

Documents Apostille, Legalization, Authentication, Notarization - Free Information HOW To's Do It Yourself in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

10/7/2014

Free Information Re: Notarization, Authentication, Legalization and Apostille of Documents. What is it? What's the procedure? DIY - How To:

How to Authenticate a Notary Public in Toronto, Ontario?
What is Legalization?
What is an Apostille procedure?

Apostille of a document is to certify the document with a special Apostille stamp or by way of issuing a certificate so that the document could be used or be recognized in foreign countries. The Apostille procedure is meant to eliminate the chain of cumbersome and costly process of:

notarization (by a notary public);
authentication (by the government agency that holds records of registered notaries public); and
legalization (by the foreign consulate or embassy where the document is to be used)

Many countries around the world wanted to eliminate the above required procedures to a single formality called Apostille. Hence, they agreed to be signatories to a treaty called the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents, it is also known as the Apostille Convention. Unfortunately, Canada decided not to sign the said treaty. As a result, in order for public documents in Canada to be recognized in foreign jurisdictions, the traditional certification procedures mentioned above must be employed.

More information about the Apostille Convention can be found through the following links: Wiki and Hague Conference on Private International Law

Many lawyers, notaries public, commissioners of oaths, and various agencies will often charge you a fee to have the notarized documents authenticated and legalized. However, both the authentication and legalization processes are not as complicated as these individuals would like to have you believe. In fact, you can do it all on your own and save yourself a lot of money. Why pay someone ridiculous sum of money to mail your documents on your behalf? They cannot expedite the processing of your documents any faster than you personally attending at the governmental offices and embassies yourself.

The most important step is to verify the credential of the person who claims to be a lawyer, notary public, and commissioner of oaths. One of the easiest ways to verify the credential of these professionals is through the Law Society of Upper Canada's Lawyer Directory. Unless you are able to confidently confirm the person's name, contact information, and credential as found on the directory, do not use such services for notarization. In short, any delays or impediments to the processing time of your documents are usually due to the fact that the government agencies and embassies cannot quickly and easily verify the legal authority of the lawyer/notary public.

The second step is notarization. You will need to find a qualified and verifiable lawyer, notary public, and commissioner of oaths to notarize your documents. The notarization process requires the lawyer/notary to either witness you sign a document or to compare your original document with a photocopy of the same and issuing a notarial certificate or placing a seal and a signature on the photocopy verifying it to be a certified true copy of the original copy. In many provinces, particularly in Ontario, if you intend to submit the document for authentication and legalization procedures, then the issuing statement, signature and seal of the the lawyer/notary must be on the same photocopy document. Government agencies will not accept a notarial certificate from lawyer/notary attached to the photocopy document. This policy is enforced to ensure that a person could not replace the photocopy document and using a notarial certificate which was issued for another photocopy document.

The third step is authentication, the process of verifying the legal authority and registration of the lawyer/notary public/ commissioner of oaths, who officiated, notarized, and/or commissioned your documents to ensure that the person is not a fraudster and the documents he/she notarized is not rendered invalid. To authenticate, you will need to consult with the receiving embassy or consulate whether they wanted your documents to be authenticated federally or provincially. You will be required to submit your notarized documents (including the name and contact information of the notary public), your identifications and a fee to have your documents authenticated by one of the following Canadian Government Authorities:

a) Federally, through the office of the Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada. Additional information can be found on that link in respect to authenticating your documents federally. It is very important to click on the mentioned link as it is will advise you ways to save money and time by asking the department to forward your authenticated documents to the embassy of your choice for completion of the legalization process.

b) Provincially, through the office of the Ontario Ministry of Government Services, the Official Documents Services Branch. Additional information can be found on that link in respect to authenticating your documents provincially. In Toronto, the fee to authenticate the registration of your notary public's signature and seal is $16 (this is a fraction of the cost that many lawyers and notaries public and various agencies try to get from you. On average they are charging over $180 plus the $16 fee disbursement:

Official Documents Services
Jarvis Street and Dundas Street in downtown Toronto:
222 Jarvis Street, Main Floor, Toronto, M7A 0B6
The entrance for Official Documents Services is located on the north side of the building
Telephone: (416) 325-8416
Facsimile: (416) 325-8434
Email: [email protected]

Once the Canadian Government Authority is satisfied that the signature and seal of the notary public on the document is not fraudulent, they will issue a certificate or another seal to confirm the authenticity of the document and the notary public's registration and credential.

The final step is legalization, or sometimes called superlegalization, which is done through the receiving embassy or foreign consulate located in Canada. Most consular offices will require that you contact them to make an appointment in advance. You will be required to submit your Canadian government authenticated documents, your identifications and a fee, to the receiving embassy who will place yet another seal or stamp and legalize your documents to be used and recognized in its country.

I hope I have clarified the procedures of getting your documents Apostille: credential verification, notarization, authentication, and legalization. Most importantly, I hope that you will be able to do it all on your own and saving yourself time and money.

Toronto Notary Public $13.28 - Children Consent to Travel Form Notarization Seal and Signature

10/7/2014

Children and Notarized Letter of Consent to Travel

Many countries around the world, including Canada, require that proper documents are presented to Customs Authorities before they will allow exiting from/ entry into their countries with minor children. Foreign Customs and Immigration Officials are trained to look for missing children and they have the legal right to ask questions about any children travelling with an adult, even if that adult is the children's own biological parent. Furthermore, it does not matter that the children and the adult travelling with them are Canadian Citizens, Canadian Customs and Immigration Officials may still seek to ask questions before allowing such persons re-entry into Canada. Therefore, when travelling with children, it is prudent and prepare to present various documents to Customs and Immigration Officials, both domestically and internationally. These documents may include, but not limited to:

Birth certificates showing the names of both parents;
Death certificate, if one of the parents is deceased.
Legal Documents pertaining to custody order granted by a family court judge;
Citizenship and/or other relevant ID's as required by the country you want to enter with the children;
Valid Passports; and
Notarized Letter of Parental Consent for the children to travel.

As recommended by the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada, in order to ensure that the Parental Consent Letter will not be questioned by Customs Authorities, the letter should be certified/notarized and sealed with a notary public stamp by a person who has the authority to administer oaths and solemn declarations. Vinh T. Tran is a PRACTISING LAWYER, a notary public, and a commissioner of oaths, in and for the Province of Ontario, can assist in swearing the consenting parent under oath, witnessing the signing of the consent letter and notarizing the consent letter to allow your children to travel.

If your child is travelling with one parent, the other parent (the parent NOT travelling must give consent) MUST be present before Vinh T. Tran to be sworn under oath, to witness the signing of the consent letter, and finally sign, date and sealing the letter with a notary public seal stamp in order to give permission for the child to travel with his/her spouse or the parent who is travelling with the child;
If your child is travelling alone, then BOTH parents MUST be present before Vinh T. Tran to be sworn under oath, sign and date the letter in order to give permission for the child to travel alone.
If your child is travelling with neither parents, i.e. with a relative exp. Grandparent/ Older sibling/ Aunt/ Uncle etc., then BOTH parents MUST be present before Vinh T. Tran, to be sworn under oath, sign and date the letter in order to give permission for the child to travel with an accompanying adult/ relative.
If you are in a blended family, all parents may need to be present with proper photo ID's before Vinh T Tran, to be sworn under oaths, sign and date the letter in order to give permission for the child/children to travel out of the country.

Although there is a sample consent letter for children travelling abroad on the government website, it is not the formal and official letter that must be used. As every situation is unique, there is no formal template for which you can download. As such, you may draft your own letter to fit the dynamic of your family exp. blending family, multiple children, restrictions due to court order or by agreement etc, as long as you include the relevant information, including but not limited to:

Parents' full legal names and profession, contact information and support identification number (DL or passport #).
Child or list the names of all the children, including DOB and passport numbers and citizenship.
Information about the adult travelling with the minor, including full legal name, relationship, profession, citizenship and contact information.
Information about the location(s) and duration you permit the consent letter to take effect.
The name and contact information of the lawyer/notary public who will seal the letter.

Furthermore, it is important to note that depending on the dynamic of your family relationship and composition, it is perfectly reasonable to execute a blanket travel permission letter whereby the parents can give each other permission to travel with their children in the absence of the other parent. Depending on the comfort level of the relationship between the parents, it is also reasonable to either list all the countries one would like to permit the child to travel or state "any country worldwide" or to limit traveling to certain countries. Whereas the parents may specify the dates of travel or to limit the travel to 5 or 10 years or to the expiration of the child's passport. The blanket permission letter will save you both time and money. If you would like a sample blanket template, please contact my office at [email protected] for free sample template.

It is equally important to confirm the travel advisories as well as the embassy to see whether there are any other requirement needed to be fulfilled before you can embark on your vacation. For example, in the near future, travelling to Mexico will require numerous documentation procedures including translation of the consent letter into Spanish, notarization of the consent letter, authentication of the notary public who notarized the letter then get it legalized at the embassy offices. For more information, please contact the:

Toronto Notary Public $13.28 - Free Invitation Letter Sample - Visitor Visa Notarization in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

10/7/2014

For more information about applications and procedures to visit Canada, please visit the CIC link.

Canada will only permit a limited number of citizens from “friendly” countries around the world to visit Canada as a tourist/temporary resident without a proper visa. As a general rule, if you are a holder of a foreign/alien’s passport/travel document, you will need to apply for a visa for entry into Canada.

As Canadian Citizens and Permanent Residents, you are entitled to be reunited with family members and friends in Canada who live in other countries around the world. You may wish to invite them to visit for a vacation, for a special occasion like the birth of your child, a wedding, a medical emergency or death on compassionate grounds.

The Consular offices and the Department of Citizenship and Immigration Canada will issue tourist visas to your family and friends provided you provide them with genuine and sufficient information/documentation regarding the visit to Canada.

Although the CIC website indicates that “sometimes… they may ask for a letter of invitation from someone in Canada”, it is actually a standard requirement that should be followed and provided for all applications for a visitor visa or a super visa to Canada.

At minimum, the required information as listed on the CIC website should be provided within your letter of invitation.

The common reasons that many applications for a visitor visa get rejected or a denial include the following:

1. Failure to provide the enumerated list of information and documentation clearly indicated on the CIC website;
2. Applications not properly signed and dated;
3. Lack of travel history or not providing a proper reason why there is a lack of travel history;
4. Insufficient information about ties to home country or evidence that shows there are ongoing family or work obligations or assets and other properties that the visitor will need and want to return home upon completion of the expected travel vacation/visit to Canada;
5. Insufficient information that the family and friends in Canada will have sufficient funds or unwillingness to provide for, or a lack of a proper undertaking statement of responsibility for the visitor/tourist during his/her stay in Canada; and
6. Lack of evidence that health and travel insurance coverage will be purchased if the visa is granted. Canada will not be responsible for any medical costs for foreigners. Medical cost is NEVER free. Provincial Health Care Plan, or OHIP, if you are living in Ontario, will not cover medical and emergency costs for tourists/visitors.

As indicated on the CIC website, the Government of Canada does not guarantee that it will grant a visitor visa even if a letter of invitation is submitted. However, based on my legal practice and experience, submitting a proper notarized letter of invitation signed and sealed by a registered officer of the courts and lawyer will definitely help a lot. The fact is, this is not just any letter, it is actually a statutory declaration of responsibility. It is a legal document. You must provide information you know is truthful and in good faith. When you get it notarized or commissioned, you are swearing under oaths before an officer of the courts. There are real criminal sanctions and consequences if you are found to be providing false information within the letter.

I encourage you to contact my office via email [email protected] and ask for a free sample template of the letter of invitation for your revision and use. Review my website for fees and contact my office again for a meeting for notarization.

Toronto Notary Public - Passport Application and Travel Documents - Passport Canada

10/7/2014

In recent years, Passport Canada has changed its requirements so that you will no longer have to attend at a lawyer’s office for notarization for application, renewal, or replacement of a lost or damaged passport. Guarantors and references can be your friends, family members, or employers, who have known you for more than several years and who are of the age of majority and a Canadian citizen. Application and renewal of passports can be done via regular mail, at the postal offices or receiving offices, and the designated Passport Canada offices.

In the event you are new to the city and you have no one to act as your guarantor, then a lawyer, notary public, commissioner of oaths, or justice of the peace may assist in swearing you under oaths, sign and seal the form called the Statutory Declaration in Lieu of a Guarantor. This form is only available for in-person pick up at the passport offices. To save you time waiting in line, the form is often kept by the security/reception desk at the passport offices. You will need to pick up the form from the passport office, get your passport photos taken, contact one of the mentioned officials and get the form sign and seal, bring that form back to the passport office along with your application, photos and the required fee. This process can only be done in person at the passport office.

New travel regulations for Canadians now require a valid passport for entry into the United States and many other countries down in the Caribbean. As a result, there may be people who might be caught by the new rules. If you are one of those individuals who allowed their passports to expire and your travel flight is coming up within days, Passport Canada offers emergency, express and urgent passport processing for an extra fee. The fastest processing time is around 24 hours. In very rare cases, a 12 hours turn-around time may be requested. Except for certain holidays, there are passport offices in the Greater Toronto Area that also open during the weekends. Again, you will not need the services of a lawyer or notary public for emergency passports, unless, you require the Statutory Declaration in Lieu of a Guarantor signed and sealed.

Very frequently, you will need a lawyer/notary public to certify your passport as true copy of the original document for various reasons including but not limited to immigration, visa applications, employment verifications, real estate transactions or registration to for examinations and professional governing bodies.

I welcome all inquiries related to travel documents and passport processes via email [email protected] or text 647-209-7389.

Toronto Notary Public $13.28 - Used Vehicle Transfer Declaration Form Notarization for Tax Exemption

10/7/2014

Pursuant to the city bylaws, most municipal councilors will also have the legal authority to sign and seal this form for free if you are able to arrange a meeting with your local councilors.

Toronto Notary Public $13.28/$8.85 - Certified True Copies Seal and Signature - University Degrees, Passports, Legal Documents etc.

10/7/2014

In Ontario, only a notary public is legally authorized by way of legislative mandates to certify and validate a photocopy of the original document as “certified true copy of the original document.”

Many people mistakenly assume that by the authority of certain professions or by virtue of the government offices they hold, that they are entitled to certify a document as a certified true copy. Many people still believe that for examples: doctors, principals, postmasters, clergies, engineers, police officers, accountants, bankers, city councillors, immigration consultants, and even lawyers, paralegals and commissioners of oaths have the automatic legal authority to notarize and certify a document as a certified true copy. It is true that these individuals by the authority of their offices may be guarantors or having the authority to swear a person under oaths (city councillors, lawyers, paralegals, commissioners of oaths etc.), or to endorse the document within the specific scope related to their profession and within geographic limits, and limited duration. However, in Ontario, legally they do not have the authority to notarize documents until such time that they get themselves registered or get appointed to become notaries public pursuant to legislative requirements (the Notaries Act, R.S.O. 1990). Hence, until such a time, they do not have a registered notary seal for use on the certified true copies.

The process of certifying a document requires the notary public to inspect/examine the photocopy and the original document and comparing the two documents to ensure that the photocopy is exactly the same as the original document. When the notary public is satisfied that the two documents are identical, by the authority under the Notaries Act, R.S.O. 1990, he/she will insert a certifying statement onto the document or through a cover letter certificate certifying and validating the photocopy document as the “true and accurate copy of the original document as examined on a specified date.” A signature of the notary public and his/her original notary public seal notary stamp will be signed and imprinted/embossed on the document to finalize the process. The main purpose of notarizing a document as a certified true copy is to avoid surrendering or giving up possession of the original document to certain agencies for fear of lost or damage of the original document. A notable point regarding this process is the fact that it does not certify that the original document is genuine, only the issuers of the original document (schools, universities, colleges, police offices, passport offices and other government agencies etc.) can validate the genuineness of the document. The process of certifying a document as a certified true copy merely confirms that the photocopy is the exact copy of the primary/original document.

Therefore, the lesson is to always ensure that the person claiming to have the legal authority to notarize your documents in Ontario is a registered notary public.

Toronto Notary Public vs Toronto Commissioner of Oaths

10/7/2014

What's a notary public?
What's the correct usage and spelling?
What's a Commissioner of Oaths?
What's a Commissioner for Taking Affidavits?
How to become a Notary Public?
How to become a Commissioner of Oaths?
What are the similarities and differences?

Notary Public is often incorrectly spelled as "notory public" or by switching the ordering to "public notary". The plural form of Notary Public is "notaries public" or just "notaries" which is again often incorrectly spelled as "notories public", "notarys public", and "notary publics."

A notary public is a person legally authorized to:

attest declarations,
administer oaths,
take affidavits,
commission statutory declarations,
confirm identities,
witnessing signatures,
authenticate or certify documents or copies of documents as certified true copies,
execute, attesting, drawing, passing, keeping and issuing all deeds and contracts, charter-parties and other mercantile transactions and commercial instruments that may be brought before him or her for public protestation.

In most jurisdictions around the world, private persons may apply and take examinations to become a notary public. Once appointed as a notary public such a person is then authorized to perform

some

, but not all, of the above noted tasks with limitations including territory, duration (approximately three years) and scope of the task.

In Canada, non-lawyers who wish to be appointed as notaries public can do so by submitting an application through the Ministry of the Attorney General for appointment under the provincial Lieutenant Governor. Again, non-lawyer notaries public will have limitations in their powers including, territory, duration and scope of the task.

A lawyer

does not

have an automatic power of a notary public until he or she is appointed by applying for registration through the Official Documents Services branch of the Provincial Government Services. Therefore, most but not all lawyers are notaries public. But once appointed, the lawyer-notary may perform

all

noted tasks mentioned above without restrictions and limitations in territory, duration, and scope. In Ontario, notaries public's powers are based on the

Notaries Act

In contrast, a commissioner of oaths or commissioner or sometimes referred to as a commissioner for taking affidavits etc. in and for the Courts and the Province of ____________(specify the name of the Province), is a person who is appointed by virtue of certain offices he/she holds (municipal, provincial and federal employees (Tax) and clerks, elected officials/councillors) or by professions (lawyers, paralegals, engineers etc.). A commissioner of oaths is legally authorized to:

witness a signature
administer and commission oaths
attesting affidavits and statutory declarations,

When a person a person is appointed by virtue of his or her profession, there is no need to apply to become a commissioner of oaths. A commissioner of oaths' powers are legislatively based on the

Commissioner for Taking Affidavits Act

. It is noteworthy that pursuant to the Commissioner of Taking Act, a Commissioner of Oaths

does not

have the legal authority to certify documents as true copies or having the ability to bind parties to contracts and agreements.

Non-lawyer commissioners of oaths will have limits in the manner they may commission documents. Usually their powers are limited to the task/scope specific to their office or profession and their powers will be limited to a three-year term with permission to renew as well as territory restrictions to a city or province. They do not have the authority to commission documents for federal and international use, unless they are federal employees or federal elected officials.

Whereas, lawyers who are admitted to practice law by the Law Society will have the power by virtue of their profession to witness, commission and administer and commission oaths, affidavits and statutory declarations for use across all jurisdictions

without

limitations.

Both the Notaries Act and the Commissioner for Taking Affidavits Act have sanctions and prosecution consequences for those found guilty of breaching these Acts.

For certainty that your documents will not get rejected or delayed, it would be wise to contact a person who has the legal designations of

a lawyer, notary public, and commissioner of oaths.
