In Canada, we currently cannot provide online electronic signing and digital notarizing for the following:

Our charges include $29.99 for the initial notarization and $21.99 for each additional notarization, along with HST. 

A notarization comprises the notary's stamp and signature.

A Certified True Copy in digital format refers to a notarized reproduction of an initial digital or electronic document. 

This includes documents created solely in electronic formats like PDFs, Word files, or any other digital format.

If you have a digital document (PDF) that you only ever received in an electronic format and need it notarized, NotaryLink can notarize a Digital-Only Certified True Copy for you. 

Examples of digital-only documents:

• Mortgage documents
• Banking statements,
• Business registration documents (Articles of Incorporation, Certificates of Incorporation, By-Laws),
• Pay stubs,
• Transcripts,
• Receipts,
• Criminal record checks
• University / college enrolment documents,
• Employment offers,
• Invoices,
• Retail receipts,
• Insurance confirmation,
• Utility bills (hydro, gas, water),
• Official correspondence/letters from government or authorities
• Government-issued tax documents,

We are unable to offer digital-only certified true copies for original printed, paper documents, whether initially created in a paper format or exclusively available in paper form, through our Remote Online Notary service. 

For these paper documents, in-person notarization in the presence of a notary public is necessary. 

Examples of such paper-only documents include:

• government-issued photo identification documents (e.g., passports, driver’s licenses, and permanent resident cards), vital statistics documents (e.g., marriage certificates, birth certificates, divorce certificates, and death certificates), as well as university/college diplomas and degrees.

When opting for NotaryLinks's Remote Online Notary service, you are acknowledging and agreeing to our Refund Policy.

The possibility of notarizing documents online for use outside the province or country depends on the specific laws and regulations governing notarization in the respective jurisdiction.  It's important to check the legal requirements of the location where the documents will be used.

Some jurisdictions may accept online notarizations, while others may require traditional, in-person notarization. 

Additionally, certain documents may have specific authentication or legalization requirements for cross-border use.

To ensure compliance, it's recommended to consult with a local notary public or legal professional in the relevant jurisdiction to confirm whether online notarization is accepted and what additional steps may be necessary for the documents to be valid and recognized.

Yes! We can assist you with documents that require multiple signatures in a single appointment. You can simply add the additional signer when you book your appointment.
