The 10 Best Notaries in Toronto

It also helps with passport and permanent resident card applications, travel consent letters, fingerprinting and pardons. The office sits just off Lawrence and Dufferin, with Saturday afternoon hours and mobile visits across the GTA.

The Notary Guy suits drivers and busy households, with free parking, curbside service and evening and weekend appointments. The Scarborough office on Eglinton Avenue East handles certified true copies, travel consent and visa invitation letters, statutory declarations, affidavits and forms such as OSAP, RRSP and vehicle transfers. The first notarization costs $30, the second to fifth $15 each and further ones $10, plus tax, with seals, black and white copies and scanning included.
