Affidavit sworn online

An affidavit is a written statement whose author attests to its truth under oath before a commissioner for oaths. It is used in court, for immigration, insurance, banks and public bodies.

What to prepare

Your drafted affidavit (we do not draft court affidavits, but you can create a statutory declaration from our templates), as a PDF or a photo. Do not sign it in advance: the signature happens before the commissioner.

A government-issued photo ID.

How it works

1. Book online and upload your document (PDF or photo), or draft it on the spot from a template.

2. Verify your identity with a government-issued ID (biometric verification by AssertID), once.

3. Video session with a commissioner for oaths appointed by Québec's Ministère de la Justice: verification, the oath, signature on screen.

4. Sealed document emailed within minutes, with a verification code. Sealed originals can be mailed.

Price

$5 per oath (per signer, per document — the legal maximum in Québec) plus a $19.99 online service fee per booking. No taxes, no hidden fees: the exact price shows in the calculator before you book.

One document, one signer: $24.99. Same-day appointment: +$25; next day: +$15. Free rescheduling before the session.

Is it valid?

Yes. Our commissioners are appointed by Québec's Ministère de la Justice under the Courts of Justice Act and listed in the public register of commissioners for oaths. The session is held by video, the declarant's identity is verified before and during the session, and the sealed document carries the commissioner's name and commission number, the date and a verification code.

A commissioner for oaths is not a notary: we do not notarize or apostille. For a document going abroad, check with the receiving authority.

Frequently asked questions

Affidavit or statutory declaration?

An affidavit is sworn ("I swear"); a statutory declaration is made by solemn affirmation, with no religious reference. Both have the same value and are received by the commissioner.

Do I need to travel?

No. Everything is online: booking, identity verification, the video session and the sealed document by email.

Which IDs do you accept?

A government-issued photo ID: driver's licence, passport, health-insurance card with photo, permanent-resident card.

How long is the session?

About fifteen minutes for one document and one signer: verification, the oath, signature. The sealed document follows within minutes.

Can there be several signers?

Yes. Each signer verifies their identity and joins the same video session, from anywhere.
