General Notarial
We are here for You.
The act of notarization is seemingly simple: the client signs a document in front of a notary. In reality, by notarizing a document the notary public screens the identity and voluntariness of each signatory and oath taker, observing that the person is aware of the significance of the matter requiring notarization.
Are you travelling out of the country with children? Perhaps you need to change your name? Our services can assist with the necessary documents.

We will examine the original identification cards and retain a copy at our office.

Documents for International Travel
We are also able to assist our clients in authenticating and legalizing documents for foreign jurisdictions. This process ensures that government officials of the foreign country recognize the document as valid and legal for use in that country.
Letters of Consent for Travel of Minor Children
A consent letter is not a legal requirement in Canada, but it can simplify travel for Canadian children, as it may be requested by immigration authorities when entering or leaving a foreign country or by Canadian officials when re-entering Canada. The letter demonstrates that Canadian children have permission to travel abroad from parents or guardians who are not accompanying them. The Government of Canada website states that "It is recommended that you have the letter witnessed by a notary public, so that border officials will be less likely to question its authenticity." READ MORE on the Recommended consent letter for children travelling abroad.
Letters of Invitation for Foreign Travel
Sometimes when applying for a visa to visit Canada, a notarized letter of invitation is required from someone in Canada. Our office can assist you with preparation and notarization of the document.
We earn our client's trust
My wife and I were very lucky to find Ms. Nilpar Honarvar some years ago when we urgently needed a notarized document. We then received her professional and efficient services on several other occasions - from simple notarization of documents, to property transfers when we sold a house and bought another. The experience was indeed easy, clear and perfect. She is always very helpful, with a courteous and kind demeanour. Whenever there are any legal documents and processes to go through, we feel supported and confident that Nilpar will take care of it for us, and that her professional fees will be fair.
