Navigating Notaries and Commissioners for Oaths in Alberta

When it comes to legal documentation, having the right authentication is crucial. In Alberta, this authentication is often provided by Notaries Public and Commissioners for Oaths.

Though they may sound quite formal, their services are straightforward and often needed in everyday situations. Let’s delve into what these roles entail and how they differ. 

A Notary Public is a designated official who can verify the identities of individuals signing documents, ensure they understand the document, and witness the signatures.

They can also authenticate copies of documents and administer oaths. Essentially, they ensure the legality and integrity of important documents. 

On the flip side, a Commissioner for Oaths is more of a specialized witness. They can attest to your identity and witness your signature on documents.

However, unlike Notaries, they cannot authenticate the content of the document or provide legal advice.
