About this seal
In Canada a commissioner for taking affidavits (also called a commissioner for oaths in some provinces) is an appointee, often a lawyer, paralegal or public servant, who administers oaths and witnesses affidavits and statutory declarations. Provincial legislation generally requires the commissioner's name and details such as the province or expiry to appear beneath the signature, and a stamp is the standard way of doing it. The exact wording varies by province, so confirm the form with your appointing authority before ordering.

Frequently asked questions
Is a stamp required for a commissioner?
Most provinces require the commissioner's name and appointment details to be printed, typed or stamped under the signature. A stamp is the usual way, though a typed block can also meet the rule.
What does “a Commissioner, etc.” mean?
It is the traditional short form of “a Commissioner for taking Affidavits”, followed by the province and sometimes the employer or firm.
Legal & usage
Stamps render in your browser for design and demonstration. A generated image does not appoint anyone as a commissioner; only use the stamp if you hold a current appointment, and follow your province's prescribed wording.
