Commissioning Oaths for Statutory Declarations

A sworn declaration is a set of facts set out on paper and sworn in front of a person authorized to administer oaths. In Ontario, a Notary Public is authorized to administer oaths binding you to the sworn declaration.

Some examples include:

  • Statutory declarations of marital status
  • Statutory Declarations of Conjugal Relationships for Citizenship and Immigration Canada applications

  • Statutory declarations for professional accreditation

Commissioning Oaths and Affidavits

An affidavit is a written document that lists a series of statements. These statements are then sworn before a notary. Notaries in Ontario are empowered to swear affidavits. This act “binds” the person swearing the oath to ensure the contents of the affidavit are true.

Some examples of affidavits include:

  • Affidavits for insurance claims, including stolen vehicles
  • Affidavits of service
  • Affidavits for name changes
  • Affidavits to transfer ownership of vehicles, including Sworn Statements for Family Gift of a Used Vehicle in the Province of Ontario
  • Affidavits for OSAP applications, including sole support status and marital status
  • Affidavits of marital status, including separation and common law relationships
