Notarization is certifying the authenticity of a document by attesting to appended signatures therein. Notary services are offered by government agents called notary publics or notaries.
Besides notaries, some personal lawyers in Halifax can offer notarization services. Some provinces permit commissioners of oaths to notarize. Notaries are government-commissioned officials; they derive their remuneration from clients and not the government.
What’s the purpose of notarization? Notarization has two main purposes— verifying the genuineness of a signature appended on a document and witnessing or attesting to the signing of documents. In Canada, notarization is mandatory for legal documents like deeds, trusts, and affidavits, among others.
