Unlike traditional appointments that require driving to a law office, our Online Notary Nova Scotia service is fully digital. To ensure your documents are valid under provincial legislation, we follow the strict remote witnessing protocols set by the Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society.
First, visit our Online Commissioning page to schedule a time. Because our team operates digitally, we can often accommodate same-day requests for Online Notary Nova Scotia support, ensuring you meet your deadline regardless of your location.
Next, you will join a secure video call with our licensed Commissioner. During this call, we must verify your identity in real-time. Therefore, please have a valid government-issued ID (like a Driver’s License or Passport) ready to show to the camera, as required for Online Notary Nova Scotia verification.
Finally, you will sign your document while we observe via video. Then, you email the signed copy to us immediately. Once received, we verify the signature, apply our digital seal and a modified jurat (stating the document was witnessed via video conference), and email it back to you within minutes.
Generally, our Online Notary Nova Scotia platform is perfect for documents requiring a Commissioner of Oaths. For instance, we frequently assist “Bluenosers” with:
Affidavits: Sworn statements for family court, insurance, or small claims.
Statutory Declarations: Including declarations of common-law union or lost ID.
Professional Applications: Forms for licensing bodies (nursing, engineering) requiring verification.
Vital Statistics Forms: Certain provincial forms that require a commissioner’s stamp.
Letter of Invitation: Supporting visitor visa applications for family members.
However, please note that Real Estate Deeds (Land Registry) and Wills typically require specific “wet ink” signatures or in-person legal advice in Nova Scotia. Consequently, for these specific documents, we recommend consulting a local lawyer in Halifax to ensure validity.
Yes. Specifically, the Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society and the Notaries and Commissioners Act permit the remote commissioning of affidavits and statutory declarations using audio-visual technology.
At Canada Notary, we strictly adhere to these rules by:
Identity Verification: We view the front and back of your ID live on camera.
Modified Jurat: We add a specific clause to your document stating clearly that it was commissioned via video technology while the deponent was in Nova Scotia.
Real-Time Observation: We must see and hear you clearly throughout the entire signing process.
Although our head offices are located in Ontario, our digital platform allows us to serve the Maritimes effectively.
Whether you are in Truro, Sydney, or Lunenburg, we can help.

Currently, we do not have a walk-in location in Nova Scotia. Therefore, we exclusively offer Online Notary Nova Scotia services (Virtual Commissioning) for residents of this province.
Generally, Service Canada requires original signatures for passport guarantors. Consequently, this usually requires an in-person visit to a guarantor or a local service point.
Usually, you will receive your completed, digitally sealed document via email within 10-20 minutes of your video appointment ending.
