Why Do I Need Edmonton Notary Public Services?


Edmonton Notary Services can be required for travel consent letters, document certification, statutory declarations, affidavits or real estate transaction documents. The key difference between a Commissioner for Oaths and Notary Public is whether the document will be used outside of the Province of Alberta. For example, affidavits to be used in Alberta Courts in the City of Edmonton can be completed by a Commissioner for Oaths. However, certified copies, out of Province real estate documents or travel consent letters all require notarization. Also, many immigration documents, passport documents or power of attorney documents are required to be completed by a Notary Public.


Typically your document will indicate what sort of official is required. Ensure you carefully review the signature section of the documents as it will often show whether it should be signed by a Commissioner for Oaths or Notary Public. If you don’t find any indication, or you have written your own travel consent, immigration invitation letter or otherwise, simply determined if it will be sent or used outside of Alberta. If so, it should be notarized.

The Notary Guy offers both Commissioner for Oaths and Notary Public service, so it is not critical you are aware of the type you require, however please be sure not to attend a registry as only lawyers are Notaries in Alberta.

In summary, the Notary Guy in west Edmonton can assist with notarizing a variety of documents including travel consent letters, real estate documents, certified copies and more.
