We offer all the following complementary services at our location through our Notary Public Mr. Danny Bertao:
An affidavit is a written description of facts that is sworn or solemnly declared to be true. An affidavit is usually made in the context of court proceedings.
A statutory declaration is similar to an affidavit, except it is usually drafted for purposes other than court proceedings. It is a solemn declaration authorized by the Canada Evidence Act and the Ontario Evidence Act and is used to assert the truth of any fact or facts or of any account rendered in writing. The declaration is of the same force and effect as if made under oath and therefore has value as evidence.
Some common statutory declarations are:
- statutory declaration of common-law
- Solemn Declaration Concerning a Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Never-Received Permanent Resident Card (PR Card)
- statutory declarations confirming identity
- statutory declarations confirming a document has been lost or stolen
