Online Commissioning (Notary)

In March 2020 the Law Society of Ontario and the Ontario government made changes to the law and rules that govern lawyers. These changes allow lawyers to commission documents online through video.

Walk-In Notary was one of the first firms to adopt and pioneer new methods and technologies to provide Online Commissioning. Our experience has enabled us to streamline the Online Commissioning process to make it quick and easy for our clients.

Please note that there are many types of documents that cannot be commissioned online. A traditional, in-person, notarization is still required for most documents. Learn more about this by reading the content on the rest of this page and our Blog.
