Need a signature or supporting commercial document notarized in connection with a Certificate of Origin or international shipment? Royal Seal Notary Public provides notarial services for eligible commercial and export-related documents in Oshawa.

A Certificate of Origin identifies the country where goods were produced or manufactured. Depending on the destination country, customs authority, importer, bank, freight forwarder, or other receiving organization, a Certificate of Origin or related commercial document may require additional certification. In Canada, Certificates of Origin are commonly certified through chambers of commerce, and the exporter or an authorized person is responsible for the origin information.

Common situations may include:

• Commercial documents requiring a notarized signature
• Supporting declarations or affidavits
• Export or shipping documents
• Documents requested by an importer, bank, customs broker, or freight forwarder
• Supporting documents connected with a Certificate of Origin
• Other international business documents where notarization is specifically requested

What to bring:

• The document requiring notarization
• Valid government-issued identification
• Any supporting business or shipping documents relevant to the request
• Any instructions, email, or checklist from your importer, customs broker, bank, freight forwarder, chamber of commerce, or receiving organization

Important:

• Do not sign the document before your appointment if your signature must be witnessed.
• We provide the requested notarial service where legally appropriate.
• We do not determine or certify the country of origin of goods simply by notarizing a document.
• Certificates of Origin may require certification by a chamber of commerce or another authorized organization. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce provides certification services for Certificates of Origin and other customs documents.
• We do not determine whether goods qualify for preferential tariff treatment under a trade agreement.
• Export, customs, and destination-country requirements may vary. Clients should confirm the requirements with their customs broker, importer, chamber of commerce, freight forwarder, or receiving authority.

If you have been asked to have a Certificate of Origin-related document, declaration, or other commercial document notarized and are unsure what service is required, bring the instructions you received. We can help identify the notarial service being requested without providing customs or international trade advice.
