HomeLocal GovernmentClerk’s DepartmentCommissioner of Oaths

The Township of Southgate provides the services of a Commissioner of Oaths during regular business hours. The Commissioner is able to witness signatures of certain documents.  We recommend that you call the Clerk ahead of time to ensure the availabilty of a Commissioner. 

Please note that we do not have a Notary Public on staff and do not notarize documents. 

 Commissioning Guidelines
In order to have a document commissioned all parties required to sign the document must be present and must provide valid photo identification such as a driver's license or health card.  Documents which have already been signed will not be commissioned. 

The Commissioner will first review the document to determine if the document meets their approval. We reserve the right to refuse commissioning services of any document.

If the paperwork is in order, all parties named in the document will then affirm or swear an oath of truth and the Commissioner will then stamp the document.

Please note that documents that are in any language other than English will not be commissioned, as we cannot validate the information that is affirmed.

The Township of Southgate reserve the right to refuse commissioning services. 

It is recommended to call the Township of Southgate to book an appointment for Commissioning Services. This will ensure there is a Commissioner of Oaths available when you come in for your commissioning.

 Preparing a Statutory Declaration
Information about preparing a Statutory Declaration, and sample wording is given in the Canada Evidence Act.
 Fee
This service is free to residents of Southgate. For non-residents a $13.50 fee applies.
