A Notary Public in Nova Scotia is a professional who is legally authorized to witness signatures, certify documents, and administer oaths and affirmations. Notarization is often required to verify the authenticity of legal documents used in Nova Scotia or abroad.

Common Reasons You May Need a Notary

  • Swearing or affirming affidavits or statutory declarations
  • Certifying true copies of passports, driver’s licences, degrees, or other official documents
  • Notarizing travel consent letters for children traveling abroad
  • Notarizing real estate documents, such as transfer deeds or mortgages (especially for out-of-province transactions)
  • Verifying identity for immigration or government forms
  • Witnessing legal documents like powers of attorney, wills, or contracts

How to Get a Document Notarized

  • Bring two pieces of valid government-issued ID (one with a photo)
  • Bring the original document(s) and any copies to be certified
  • Do not sign the document beforehand – the notary must witness your signature
