Can I Go To Service Ontario Instead?

ServiceOntario is where you can go to take care of some provincial matters. Their services are limited to certain documents and processes that fall within Ontario government programs and services. If your document is part of a specific ServiceOntario process, they may be able to assist you as part of that service.

You may want to contact your local ServiceOntario office to see which services they can provide.

However, ServiceOntario is not a general notary service. They do not notarize every document.

A notary public can handle specific and generic matters requiring notarization.

If you’re ever unsure, the safest approach is to check the instructions from the person or organization requesting the document. They usually specify whether it must be notarized or commissioned—and by whom.
