AGB Notarial Service Lawyers
AGB Lawyers provides a range of comprehensive notarial services to clients in Ottawa, ON. Our experienced notarial service lawyers are dedicated to providing efficient and reliable service to help our clients achieve their notarial needs promptly. In addition to our notarial services, our lawyers can also provide legal advice and assistance with the preparation of legal documents.
Affidavits
An affidavit is a written statement made under oath or affirmation by a person willing to swear that the statements are true, who has firsthand knowledge of the facts stated. They are used as written forms of testimony in court proceedings or other legal matters.
At AGB Lawyers, our notary service lawyer acts as an independent witness to the signing of the affidavit and legally verifies the identity of the person making the affidavit. The purpose of having this statement notarized is to provide additional evidence that the affidavit is genuine.
Statutory Declarations
A notarized statutory declaration is a written statement that is made in the presence of a notary. It is similar to an affidavit, but it is generally used in situations where an affidavit is not appropriate or not legally recognized. These formal documents are used to make a legal statement of fact, such as a birth or death certificate. Our notarial service lawyer at AGB Lawyers can legally notarize these documents, confirming the identity of the person making the declaration and providing proof that the declaration was made under oath.
Consent Letters
A travel letter, also known as a consent letter, is a document that provides permission for a child under the age of 18 to travel without both parents or their legal guardians. A consent letter shows that the absent parent or legal guardian is aware and has given permission for the child to travel.
A notarized consent letter, notarized by our notarial service lawyer, can provide additional reassurance to authorities, such as border control agents, that the letter is legitimate and that a person travelling with the child has consent from the guardians to do so.
Document Certification
Document certification from our notarial service lawyer is a process by which the authenticity of a document is verified. This typically involves reviewing the document, confirming the identity of the person signing it, and then affixing their official seal or stamp as evidence that it has been properly authenticated.
