Understanding Commissioning in Ontario
A Commissioner for Taking Affidavits (also called a Commissioner of Oaths) is authorized to administer oaths, affirmations, and statutory declarations. Commissioning confirms that the person signing a document has sworn or affirmed its truth before a Commissioner.
Common documents that may require commissioning include:
-
Affidavits used in court proceedings
-
Statutory declarations for government applications
-
Consent to travel documents for minors
-
Sworn statements for immigration or other official purposes
