Declaration and Statutory Declaration Notarization in Ontario
Notaryspace assists with declarations and statutory declarations by witnessing signatures and commissioning sworn statements where required.
A statutory declaration is a written statement of facts that is reviewed and confirmed by the person signing it (the declarant). It is completed in the presence of a Notary Public or Commissioner of Oaths who verifies identity and witnesses the signing. A statutory declaration has similar legal consequences to an affidavit or sworn statement. Under the Criminal Code, making a false declaration may result in penalties, including charges for perjury.
