✓ Commissioners appointed by Québec's Ministère de la JusticeIn Québec, a commissioner for oaths may receive an oath by technological means when they can see and hear the declarant and verify their identity. That is exactly what every session on VotreCommissaire.ca does.
Book a session — todayIdentity verified twice: by AssertID before the session (government ID and facial recognition) and by the commissioner on screen during the session, with a live photo.
The document is shown on screen, the oath is read (French, English or twenty other languages), the signature is placed on the document itself, then everything is sealed, time-stamped and delivered with a verification code. The session is recorded.
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.

One document, one signer: $24.99. Same-day appointment: +$25; next day: +$15. Free rescheduling before the session.
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.
An oath received remotely by a Québec commissioner has the same value as in person. Most organisations accept it; if in doubt, ask the receiving organisation and show our verification code.
No. Everything is online: booking, identity verification, the video session and the sealed document by email.
A government-issued photo ID: driver's licence, passport, health-insurance card with photo, permanent-resident card.
About fifteen minutes for one document and one signer: verification, the oath, signature. The sealed document follows within minutes.
Yes. Each signer verifies their identity and joins the same video session, from anywhere.
