Notary Public &
Commissioner Services
Windsor, Ontario
At Sparling Paralegal, we provide professional Notary Public services in Windsor and throughout Ontario to assist individuals and businesses with the notarization of important legal documents. Our licensed paralegals deliver reliable document notarization and commissioning services in accordance with Ontario legislation and regulatory requirements.
As a commissioned Ontario Notary Public, we act as impartial witnesses to the signing of documents, verify identity, and administer oaths, affirmations, and statutory declarations where authorized by law. We assist with affidavits, statutory declarations, contracts, and other documents requiring a notarial signature or seal for use within Ontario or in other jurisdictions.
For clarity and compliance, we do not draft or prepare Wills or Powers of Attorney, nor do we provide legal services restricted to lawyers, including estate planning or the interpretation of testamentary documents. Where a matter falls outside the permitted scope of paralegal notary services, we will advise you accordingly and recommend consultation with a lawyer.
