Our frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a Notary and Commissioner for Oaths?
A notary has wider powers than a commissioner for oaths. A notary public is authorized to perform a variety of tasks, including witnessing signatures, certifying copies of documents, and administering oaths. Their authority can extend beyond just oaths; they can also authenticate documents for use in different jurisdictions. A commissioner for oaths primarily administers oaths and affirmations and may in certain instances witness signatures on affidavits and other sworn documents.
