Commissioner Services

A Commissioner of Oath is an individual authorized by law to witness signatures for certain documents such as affidavits*, oaths, pension documents from other countries and statutory declarations.

Township hours of service: 8:30 am - 4:30 pm Monday to Friday (excluding ​Statu​​tory Holidays). 

Please call to book an appointment to ensure that a Commissioner is available to assist you when you attend the office. 

2023 Fees: 
$19.00 (plus HST) for King Township residents and businesses
$25.00 (plus HST) for non-residents and businesses

Booking an Appointment: 

Contact the Township at 905-833-5321 to be connected to the next available Commissioner or e-mail us at clerks@king.ca​​. While it is not mandatory to book an appointment, it is strongly recommended so that we can ensure someone is available to assist you. We cannot guarantee availability of a commissioner without an appointment booked in advance. 

ID & Documents: The individual taking the oath and signing the document must present one original piece of government issued photo identification (Ie. a valid driver's licence or valid passport which includes a current address). Please complete the document(s) to be commissioned beforehand, but do not sign the document in advance - the Commissioner must witness your signature. 

Note: The Township does not provide Notary Public services. Our Commissioners will not sign the following:

  • Wills *
  • Living Wills
  • Power of Attorney
  • Divorce, Separation or Custody Documents
  • Real Estate Documents *

 Please contact a Notary Public or lawyer who can notarize these documents.

* Affidavits or agreements (i.e. Probate, Bare Trust Agreement) regarding Wills and Real Estate require the services of a lawyer.

Contact the Clerks Division for an appointment at 905-833-5321 or clerks@king.ca
