Statutory declaration questions

Is a statutory declaration the same as an affidavit?

Both are sworn or affirmed before a commissioner. An affidavit is usually filed in a court case, while a statutory declaration goes to a government office, a bank, a school or an insurer. An affidavit here costs $70.

Can you write the declaration for me?

No. We commission the statement you bring and check that it is complete and signed in the right places. If the office gave you its own form or wording, use that.

What do my partner and I pay for IMM 5409?

The fee is $20 per signature, so a form signed by both partners costs $40. Printing an emailed form is free, and we take cash or e-Transfer.

Can I come in without an appointment?

Yes. Walk-ins are welcome Monday to Friday 10:00 am to 6:30 pm and Saturday and Sunday 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Call 416-951-3301 first if several people are signing.

I need the declaration for an office outside Canada. What then?

Many foreign offices also want an apostille on the notarized document. Ask the receiving office what it needs first; our apostille service costs $100.
