Question 1

What ID do I need to bring to my notary appointment in Brampton?

Accepted Answer

You must present at least one valid, government-issued photo identification. Acceptable forms include a Canadian driver's licence, Ontario Photo Card, Canadian passport, Permanent Resident (PR) card, or a Citizenship card. The ID must be original (not a photocopy or photo on a phone), current or expired within the last year, and include your photograph, signature, and full name. All parties whose signatures are being notarized must bring their own valid ID and attend in person.

Question 2

What payment methods do you accept at your Brampton notary office?

Accepted Answer

We accept cash, debit, and all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, and American Express), as well as Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Interac e-Transfer. For mobile notary appointments, payment is due at the time of service. Prices may vary for mobile service depending on your location within Brampton and the surrounding area — contact us for a quote.

Question 3

What happens if my document requires a witness?

Accepted Answer

Some documents — such as powers of attorney, wills, and certain affidavits — require one or more independent witnesses in addition to the notary. If your document calls for a witness, you are responsible for arranging and bringing the witness(es) with you to the appointment; the notary cannot act as your witness. Each witness must also bring valid government-issued photo ID. If you are unsure whether your document needs a witness, please contact us in advance.

Question 4

Do I need to sign the document before my notary appointment?

Accepted Answer

No. Please do not sign your document in advance. Documents must be signed in the presence of the notary so that your identity and willingness can be verified at the time of signing. Bring the unsigned original document along with your valid photo ID.

Question 5

Do you offer mobile notary service in Brampton, and is there an extra fee?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our mobile notary service brings us to your home, office, hospital, or care facility across Brampton and the surrounding region. A travel fee applies based on distance and is quoted when you book. Contact us to arrange a mobile appointment at a time and location that works for you.

Question 6

How long does a typical notarization take?

Accepted Answer

Most single-document notarizations are completed in under 30 minutes, provided all parties are present with valid ID and the document is ready. More complex matters involving multiple signers or several documents may take longer. We recommend booking an appointment to minimize your wait time.
