Frequently asked questions

Is an online commissioning valid for filing in Québec?

▾

Yes. A commissioner for oaths may administer the oath by videoconference, and the resulting affidavit is admissible. The certified PDF records the date, place and manner of swearing.

What do I need to have ready?

▾

The final version of your document (no further edits after swearing) and a valid piece of government-issued photo identification.

Can the commissioner change my document?

▾

No. A commissioner verifies your identity and administers the oath; they do not draft, correct or give advice on the content. Make sure the wording is final before your appointment.
