Commissioning of Documents

Commissioner of Oaths

Both the City Clerk and Deputy City Clerk may act as a Commissioner of Oaths. Please Note: We do not have a Notary Public on staff.

We charge a $25.00 fee per signature to commission documents. Payment can be made by cash, debit, Master Card or Visa. Any document under the Vital Statistics Act will be commissioned free of charge.

In order to have a document commissioned all parties required to sign the document must be present and must provide valid photo identification.

The Clerk or Deputy Clerk will first review the document to determine if the document meets their specification. We reserve the right to refuse commissioning services of any document.

If the paperwork is in order, all parties named in the document will then swear an oath of truth and the Commissioner will then stamp and seal the document.

Please Note: Documents that are in any language other than English will not be commissioned, as we cannot validate the information that is sworn. There will be no exceptions to this policy. Thank you for your co-operation.
