A notary public is a person who can serve as an official witness to the execution (signing) of contracts, agreements, and an almost limitless array of legal documents. A notary may also certify documents to be true copies of the original. Notarization simply refers to an official act of a Notary. A notary also has the authority to administer oaths, solemn affirmations, and declarations that are used for affidavits and statutory declarations.
Have you been told you need to "swear an affidavit" and don't really know what this means? Don't worry, Red Seal Notary can probably help you. Affidavits are often used in court as part of legal proceedings, but they can be used in numerous other situations as well.
Perhaps you want to get married in another country, you might have to provide the authorities in that country with evidence (probably through a sworn statement) that you have never been married before (or that you are legally divorced) before the other country will issue you a marriage licence.The most important thing to remember about sworn statements is that everything stated must be true.

In many situations you may be required to provide an important document such as your passport, birth certificate, identification card or academic records for an application or as a supporting document. Rather than submitting the original document, in most cases a certified true copy (or "notarized copy"), commonly referred to simply as a certified copy, will suffice.
Due to increasing concern for the safety of children, many governments including that of Canada have initiated special requirements when children under 18 years of age are travelling without both parents.
Specifically, many countries now require that documentary evidence in the form of a notarized consent to travel letter be presented to establish the permission of the parent(s) / legal guardian(s) for a minor to cross international borders with an accompanying adult, or alone.This requirement is in addition to other legal requirements as specified by airlines and official authorities.

Depending on the country of origin, some foreign nationals wishing to visit Canada must apply for a Temporary Resident Visa (visitor visa). In order to do so, a letter of invitation is often required. This invitation is given by the Canadian resident who wishes to invite the person, who thus requires a visitor visa.

My experience with this location is really beyond my expectation because first of all I went there without any prior appointment and during this pandemic situation I got my document notarized within a few minutes. They are very helpful and efficient with exceptional service. They are taking proper precautions for the pandemic and only allowing one person at a time. I will highly recommend this location to all.

Did ink & roll fingerprint service downtown location. It was quick, precise and knowledgable. HOWEVER, the WEBSITE should have exact details. I was informed fingerprint service is available at Mississauga, North York, Toronto and Ottawa from call centre at first which is not correct. Turned out Missisauga and North York are not providing service currently. I understand it is pandemic and trying to put as less people as possible. But I travelled from the city which is 3 hours away.. it would have been really helpful if red seal didn’t filp flop the information and instead put the details on the

My experience with this specific location was beyond phenomenal. First and foremost, I walked in without an appointment few minutes before the closing time,and the general manager Blake McClung, was an absolute God sent. I was having trouble with a specific form that I needed notarized, and he went above and beyond, to made sure I left satisfied with the service. Mr. McClung helped me past closing time, and I felt terrible,but that is what good customer service is;making sure your customers leaves happy.
Mr. McClung, I truly appreciated your help and would definitely recommend Red Seal Notary

The worst and most expensive fingerprint service in Toronto.
I went there 5 weeks ago to take the ink fingerprints and there were barely any other customers, but the guy who work there did not even bother to tell me that I can submit an online application when I alsked, and he did not even help me to fill in the basic items on the card(which only takes 1 minute and has less errors if you are a professional) because he told me he has other customers and he is busy. So, as a result, I mailed everything with paper, fill in things by myself, and now 4 weeks has passed, I still haven't heard anything

DO NOT USE THEIR SERVICE THEY ARE JUST IN IT TO SCAM YOU.
Had to get an affidavit signed by myself and my partner. Was told that only I needed to be there for the signing by their recommended lawyer (which means only I'd be witnessed). Trusting the lawyer, a legal professional who should know what is required, I signed and they noted that only I was there so the document was rejected. Which makes sense since both parties weren't witnessed. This, however, is opposite to what I was informed by their council.
The company has failed to follow up after messaging them for over a week.

Highly recommend this location. Walked in on a Monday afternoon without an appointment and they immediately made time in their schedule. Staff were prompt, knowledgeable and extremely efficient. The whole process took less than 10 minutes. I would absolutely use this location again and great value for the money.
