What documents require a Commissioner for Oaths?

This is only for documents to be used within the Province of Alberta. You will need to see a Notary Public or a Federal Commissioner for Oaths for documents to be used out of Province – even if your paperwork states that a Commissioner for Oaths can administer the Oath.

Please ensure:

  • You check the requirements carefully (if the documentation requires a Notary Public, it cannot be completed by a Commissioner for Oaths ).
  • All documentation supporting the request must be made available for inspection by the Commissioner for Oaths.
  • Ensure forms contain an oath (a statement of fact or a promise) or jurat (a clause at the foot of an affidavit showing when, where, and before whom the actual oath was sworn or affirmation was made).
