What can notaries do for you?
A notary public in British Columbia is a licensed legal professional who helps the public with non-contentious legal matters. Our main role is to witness, certify, and authenticate documents to ensure they are legally valid and properly executed. Essentially, a notary helps ensure the person signing the legal documents understand the nature and effect of the document. A notary also ensures legal documents are prepared and signed correctly, reducing the risk of fraud and providing peace of mind. Click the link below to view a list of services we offer.
