Remote Online Notarization in Canada

How Remote Online Notarization works in Canada

Remote Online Notarization lets residents, businesses and expats in Canada request notarial services entirely online, in English, English or any other language. Our certified notaries verify your identity, apply a legally recognized notarial seal and signature, and issue notarized documents accepted by Global Affairs Canada (Affaires mondiales Canada) and by ministries, courts, banks, registries and embassies worldwide.

Notary7 delivers every type of notarial act for Canada — including all forms of signature notarization and certified true copy notarization, sworn declarations and corporate acts — issued digitally or, where required, with an original wet-ink signature and seal. In Canada, notarization often involves a Notary Public or Commissioner of Oaths. For documents to be used internationally, further authentication (often called an Apostille or legalization certificate) by Global Affairs Canada may be required, followed by consular legalization at the destination country's embassy if that country is not a party to the Apostille Convention. Canada joined the Apostille Convention in 2024, simplifying the process for many destinations by replacing multiple steps with a single Apostille Certificate. Our services ensure your documents meet Canadian domestic requirements and are prepared for international acceptance, either through traditional legalization or the new Apostille process.
