Commissioner for Oaths

Commissioner for Oaths in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador

If you need a document commissioned, I’m here to make the process simple, clear, and stress-free.

As a Commissioner for Oaths in Newfoundland & Labrador, I am authorized to:

  • Administer oaths and affirmations

  • Take and receive affidavits and statutory declarations

  • Certify that an oath, affirmation, or declaration was properly sworn

When I commission your document, I apply my official stamp confirming that the required oath or affirmation has been properly administered.

It’s important to note that I do not verify or certify the truth of the contents of your document. The responsibility for the accuracy and content remains with the person signing it.

I am not a Notary Public. A Notary Public has additional authority, including certifying documents for use outside the Province and handling certain legal and property-related matters. It is your responsibility to confirm that a Commissioner for Oaths is appropriate for your specific document.

What you will need

To have a document commissioned:

  • You must appear in person before me

  • Bring valid government-issued photo ID (driver’s licence, passport, permanent resident card, etc.)

  • Bring your completed document unsigned

Your signature must be completed in my presence.
