How Online Notary Services in British Columbia Works

Picture this: Jason and Emily in Vancouver were finalizing the purchase of their first condo when their lawyer requested a notarized statutory declaration — but between work meetings and daycare pickups, getting to a notary’s office just wasn’t possible. A quick search brought them to Canada Notary, and within 24 hours, they had a virtual appointment. The entire process took just 15 minutes over a secure video call. In Kelowna, Priya, a single mom, needed a notarized travel consent letter so her daughter could fly to Toronto with her grandparents. Instead of scrambling to find an available notary on a weekend, she uploaded the document to Canada Notary, joined a scheduled video call, and had everything completed right from her dining room table. Ahmad, applying for immigration from Surrey, needed multiple affidavits notarized. Canada Notary’s streamlined online platform let him complete them all from home — no traffic, no lineups, and no need to miss work.

Virtual Commissioning and Remote Witnessing Laws in British Columbia

British Columbia has implemented legislation and guidelines that allow for the remote commissioning and witnessing of certain legal documents via audio-visual technology. These measures enhance accessibility and efficiency in legal processes across the province.

Electronic Wills: As of December 1, 2021, British Columbia recognizes electronic wills, allowing them to be created, signed, witnessed, and stored entirely digitally.
Remote Witnessing of Wills: Wills can be witnessed remotely via video conferencing, provided that at least one witness is a lawyer or notary public. All parties must sign complete and identical copies of the will in counterpart, and the will must include a statement indicating it was signed and witnessed in accordance with the applicable legislation.
Enduring Powers of Attorney (EPAs) and Representation Agreements (RAs): While EPAs and RAs must still be signed with wet ink, they can be witnessed remotely via video conferencing if the witness is a lawyer or notary public. The document must state that it was signed and witnessed in accordance with the applicable ministerial order.
Land Title Documents: The Land Title and Survey Authority (LTSA) permits remote witnessing of land title documents under certain conditions, such as when executed under an enduring power of attorney. A lawyer or notary public must complete a Section 49 affidavit of execution to accompany the remotely witnessed document.
- Viewing valid, current government-issued photo identification.
- Comparing the ID photo with the signer during the video session.
- Recording the date and method of verification.
- Treating the transaction as high risk and monitoring accordingly.
- Documenting the efforts made to verify the client’s identity and the reasons for using remote verification.Identity Verification: Lawyers must verify the signer’s identity by:
Real-Time Video Required: All remote witnessing or commissioning must occur in real time with clear audio and visual communication, ensuring all parties can see, hear, and communicate with each other throughout the process.
Technology Access: Participants must have access to the necessary technology (e.g., camera, microphone, internet connection) to facilitate the remote process effectively.
Lawyer Compliance: Lawyers must adhere to the guidelines set out by the Law Society of British Columbia, including maintaining records and completing any required declarations when performing remote legal services.

These measures, initially introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic, have been solidified to provide ongoing flexibility and accessibility in legal services throughout British Columbia.
