Fast, Reliable, and Legally Compliant Online Notarization Services
Why Is Notarization Important for Agreements?
Agreement notarization serves several essential legal purposes that protect all parties involved:
Notarization establishes the identities of all signatories through proper verification methods, preventing identity fraud and ensuring everyone signing is who they claim to be. This identity verification becomes particularly valuable if the agreement is ever disputed, as it confirms all parties knowingly and willingly participated in the signing.
Notarized agreements carry greater legal weight and admissibility in court proceedings. Should a dispute arise, a properly notarized document provides stronger evidence than a non-notarized agreement. Many courts give preferential treatment to notarized documents because they've undergone this additional layer of verification.
The notarization process also helps prevent document tampering and fraud. Once notarized, any alterations to the agreement become evident, protecting all parties from unauthorized changes after signing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do all parties need to be present together for notarization?
Not necessarily. While traditional notarization required all parties to be physically present together, our online notarization service offers flexibility. All parties must have their identities verified and signatures witnessed by the notary, but this can be done in separate sessions if necessary, though simultaneous signing is often preferred.
Does notarizing an agreement make it legally binding?
Notarization doesn't automatically make an agreement legally binding, but it does add significant legal weight and authenticity. For an agreement to be legally binding, it must meet all the requirements of a valid contract (offer, acceptance, consideration, legal purpose, capable parties). Notarization provides evidence that the signatures are genuine and that the signing was done voluntarily.
Can you notarize an agreement that's already been signed?
No. The purpose of notarization is to witness the actual signing. Our notary must observe each party sign the document to properly notarize it. Pre-signed documents cannot be notarized after the fact.
What identification is required for agreement notarization?
All signatories must present valid government-issued photo identification, such as:
- Canadian driver's license
- Passport
- Ontario Photo Card
- Permanent Resident Card
Can online notarized agreements be used in court?
Yes. Ontario law recognizes electronically notarized documents as legally valid. Our digital notarization process complies with all provincial requirements, creating documents that are admissible in court and recognized by government agencies and other official bodies.
