The City of Port Colborne provides Commissioner of Oaths Services.
A commissioner is a person authorized by the Province of Ontario to take oaths or declarations of an affidavit or a statutory declaration.
A commissioner is not the same as a Notary Public. A Notary Public can verify that signatures, marks and copies of documents are true or genuine.
The commissioner is not responsible for the content of the affidavit. The person signing the document is responsible for understanding the details of the document and ensuring the contents are accurate.
Fees (per signature)
Effective January 1, 2025:
- $25 – payable by cash, debit or credit card (2.4% convenience fee charge)
- Pension – Proof of Life (no charge)
Identification
The person signing the affidavit must show proof of identity via Government issued photo identification, such as a Driver's Licence, Passport, Ontario Photo card.
