What Services Does a Notary Provide?
Notary publics are legal representatives appointed by the Supreme Court of British Columbia and regulated by the Society of Notaries Public of British Columbia. In BC, a notary is able to help with most legal services that don’t require a court representation.
Examples of notarized documents include:
B.C. public documents notarized in B.C.
- Statutory Declaration
- Power of Attorney
- Affidavits
- B.C. Wills
- Notarized Copy (or Certified True Copy) of B.C. Criminal Record Check
- Travel Authorization or Consent Letter for Minors Travelling Abroad
- Translations of B.C. public documents
Certain federal Canadian public documents notarized in B.C.
- RCMP Criminal Record Check
- Canada Pension Plan (CPP) documents
- Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) documents
In British Columbia, all B.C. lawyers are B.C. Notaries Public, and there are also non-lawyer B.C. Notaries Public.
The notarized document must be signed, dated and sealed by a B.C. Notary Public (B.C. lawyer or B.C. non-lawyer) who is already on file with our office to avoid delays. See Information for BC Lawyers and Notaries.
Documents must be notarized (signed, dated and sealed) by the notary in their capacity as a notary, not in their capacity as a commissioner for taking affidavits or other non-notary designation. Documents signed or sealed in their capacity as a commissioner for taking affidavits or other non-notary designation will not be authenticated.
