Notary & Solicitor Services
Reliable help with important documents.
Some legal matters do not require lengthy proceedings—but they still require careful attention.
Atraves Legal Services provides accessible notary, commissioner and solicitor services for individuals, families and businesses. We explain what is required, verify documents carefully and help clients complete routine legal matters efficiently.
Appointments are available in Vaughan, Woodbridge and Toronto. Mobile appointments may also be arranged throughout the Greater Toronto Area.
Notary Public Services
A notary public can verify signatures, administer oaths and affirmations, commission declarations and certify copies of original documents.
We provide assistance with:
Notarization of signatures
Certified true copies
Affidavits
Statutory declarations
Commissioner of oaths services
Consent to travel letters
Invitation letters
Proof-of-identity documents
Passport and immigration-related documents
Academic and professional documents
Documents intended for use outside Canada
Other documents requiring notarization or commissioning
The person signing must normally attend the appointment with the complete, unsigned document and valid government-issued identification.
Certified True Copies
A certified true copy confirms that a copy has been compared with an original document and appears to be a true copy of that original.
Documents commonly certified include:
Passports
Driver’s licences
Birth and marriage certificates
Permanent resident cards
Citizenship documents
Diplomas and transcripts
Professional licences
Court and government documents
Please bring both the original document and the copy, if one has already been prepared.
Affidavits and Statutory Declarations
An affidavit or statutory declaration contains statements that a person formally swears, affirms or declares to be true.
We can commission documents concerning:
Identity or residency
Name discrepancies
Lost or damaged documents
Common-law relationships
Immigration and sponsorship matters
Insurance and financial matters
Court and administrative proceedings
Other personal or business circumstances
A notary or commissioner does not automatically verify the truth of every statement. The person making the affidavit or declaration remains responsible for its contents.
Documents for Use Outside Canada
Documents intended for another country may need notarization, authentication or an apostille before they will be accepted.
We can notarize eligible documents and help you understand the general steps that may follow. Requirements vary by country and by the organization receiving the document, so clients should confirm the precise requirements before their appointment.
Solicitor Services
Practical legal assistance for everyday matters.
Some documents require more than a signature or seal. When legal advice, drafting or document review is needed, we can provide solicitor services tailored to the particular matter.
Wills and Powers of Attorney
We assist clients with preparing straightforward estate-planning documents, including:
Wills
Powers of Attorney for Property
Powers of Attorney for Personal Care
Review and revision of existing documents
Execution and witnessing arrangements
A properly prepared estate plan can clarify your wishes and identify the people authorized to make decisions if you become unable to do so.
Consent to Travel Letters
A consent letter may be recommended when a child travels outside Canada without one or both parents or guardians.
We can prepare and notarize travel-consent letters based on the family’s circumstances and the available travel information.
Invitation and Support Letters
We assist with preparing invitation or support letters for family members, friends and other visitors travelling to Canada.
An invitation letter does not guarantee that a visa will be issued. Immigration authorities make decisions based on the complete application and the applicable legal requirements.
Document Drafting and Review
We may assist with the preparation or review of straightforward legal documents, including:
Declarations and sworn statements
Authorization and consent letters
Demand and response letters
Personal and business undertakings
Simple agreements
Independent legal advice, where appropriate
Other routine legal documents
The available service and fee will depend on the nature and complexity of the document.
Mobile Notary Appointments
For clients who cannot easily travel, mobile appointments may be available at:
Private residences
Hospitals
Long-term care and retirement residences
Offices and workplaces
Other agreed locations
Mobile service is subject to availability. A travel charge may apply in addition to the notarial or legal-service fee.
Preparing for Your Appointment
Please bring:
The complete document
Valid government-issued photo identification
Any instructions received from the organization requesting the document
The original document when requesting a certified copy
Any required witnesses, unless arrangements have been confirmed in advance
Do not sign the document before your appointment if your signature must be witnessed, notarized, sworn or commissioned.
We may need to decline or postpone service if identity, capacity, voluntariness or the purpose of a document cannot be adequately confirmed.
Clear and Transparent Service
Before proceeding, we will explain:
The service your document appears to require
What you need to bring
Whether additional witnesses are required
The applicable professional fee
Any additional mobile, printing or travel charges

Important Information
The information on this page is general and does not constitute legal advice. Contacting Atraves Legal Services does not, by itself, create a lawyer-client relationship.
Notarization or commissioning does not mean that Atraves Legal Services has reviewed, approved or provided legal advice concerning the contents of a document unless legal-review services have been separately requested and confirmed.
The person or organization receiving a document determines whether it is acceptable. Clients are responsible for confirming the recipient’s particular notarization, witnessing, translation, authentication or apostille requirements.
