Identity Verification and Confirmation – Notary Public Services in Ontario
Notaryspace provides identity verification and confirmation services to help you meet legal, administrative, professional, and international requirements.
Many organizations require a Notary Public to verify your identity, confirm your signature, or certify that your identification documents match your personal details. At Notaryspace, we provide professional Identity Verification and Confirmation services for a wide range of personal, corporate, and international matters.
What Is Identity Verification and Confirmation?
Identity verification is the process of establishing your identity by reviewing and validating your information and identification documents. Identity confirmation is the act of affirming that the verified identity information is accurate for the purpose requested by an institution, employer, authority, or licensing body.
These services are commonly required for security, legal compliance, licensing, financial matters, education, and cross-border transactions. Identity verification and confirmation help reduce fraud, protect sensitive information, and ensure documents are accepted by the receiving organization.
What Documents Can Be Used for Identification?
The Notary Public must confirm your identity using valid, original identification. Acceptable identification documents include, but are not limited to:
- Passport
- Canadian driver’s licence
- Ontario photo card
- Permanent Resident (PR) card
- Government-issued national identity card
- Citizenship certificate or card (where applicable)
- Other government-issued photo identification with full name and date of birth
If the receiving organization requires proof of address, you may also be asked to provide an address document such as a bank statement, utility bill, lease, or government letter. Requirements vary depending on the form and destination.

How the Identity Verification and Confirmation Process Works
While exact steps depend on the organization requesting the verification, most identity verification and confirmation processes include:
Step 1 – Collecting Your Information
We collect the necessary personal information required by your form or institution, such as your legal name, date of birth, current address, and other identifying details.
Step 2 – Reviewing Identification Documents
We review your original government-issued identification and confirm it matches the information on the document or form you are submitting.
Step 3 – Address or Supporting Document Review (If Required)
If your request includes an address confirmation or supporting documentation, we verify the supporting documents required by the receiving organization.
Step 4 – Witnessing Signatures (If Required)
If your form requires signatures, we witness the signing and confirm the identity of the signer at the time of signing.
Step 5 – Certification, Notarization, and Completion
We complete the identity verification or confirmation portion of the form, apply the notarial stamp or certification where appropriate, and provide you with the completed document for submission.
Important Notes
- Please bring original ID. Photocopies are usually not accepted for identity verification.
- Some institutions have strict rules about document format, wording, and the type of identification accepted. If possible, bring the institution’s instructions or email requirements.
- Notaryspace does not provide legal advice. If your matter requires legal advice, you should consult a lawyer.
