FAQ

Frequently Ask Questions

We frequently receive questions about notary expiration and the validity of notarized documents in Canada. In this article, we address some of the popular queries you might have about notarizing documents with NowNotary Legal Services.

In Canada, notarized documents do not expire. There is no expiration date associated with the notary stamp or seal. As long as the notary had a valid commission by the provincial or territorial government at the time of notarization, your document will remain valid. Therefore, you do not need to renew your notarization to maintain its validity.

Having a document notarized means that the notary has verified the identity of the signatory and witnessed their signature or verified a copy as true to the original. To have a document notarized, you need to appear before an official notary public authorized by your province or territory. The notary will witness your signature and authenticate it with their seal.

No, notarized documents do not expire in Canada. Provided that the notary’s commission was valid at the time of notarization, the document remains valid indefinitely. However, the document itself may have an expiration date separate from its notarization, depending on its type and what is stated within it. Always review your documents carefully before signing and notarizing.

A notarized document might be rejected by the receiving party under certain conditions, such as:

  • Expired Notary Commission: If the notary’s commission has expired.
  • Illegible Text: If the document’s text is difficult to read.
  • Alterations: If correction fluid is used, which might indicate tampering.
  • Incomplete Notarization: If not all required signatures are notarized or if other necessary information is missing.
  • Notary Stamp Placement: If the notary stamp obscures text, making it unreadable.

At NowNotary Legal Services, we offer notary services across Canada, including Mississauga. To notarize documents:

  1. Make an Appointment: Contact us to schedule a meeting with one of our notaries.
  2. Provide Identification: Present valid ID during your appointment.
  3. Sign in Presence: The notary will witness you signing the document and apply their official stamp or seal.

We offer both in-person and remote notarization services based on your needs and location. For inquiries or to set up an appointment, email us at info@nownotary.com or call us at 1-888-922-SEAL (7325).

OUR LANDLORD AND TENANT BOARD SERVICES

For Landlords​

We handle a wide range of disputes related to rental properties, providing comprehensive support for both landlords and tenants. Our NowNotary services include:

Whether due to unpaid rent, lease violations, or tenant misconduct, we provide representation in LTB eviction hearings and ensure that your rights as a landlord are upheld. We help landlords prepare eviction notices, such as N4 (Notice to End a Tenancy Early for Non-Payment of Rent), and represent you in any LTB hearings that may follow.

If your tenant has fallen behind on rent payments, NowNotary assists in filing applications with the LTB to recover the outstanding amounts. We handle all aspects of the process, from preparing the necessary documents to representing you in hearings.

When tenants breach their lease agreement—whether by subletting without permission, keeping unauthorized pets, or engaging in other violations—NowNotary can assist landlords in enforcing their lease terms and seeking remedies through the LTB.

We help landlords recover compensation for damage caused by tenants beyond normal wear and tear, whether intentional or due to neglect.

We guide landlords through the process of serving appropriate notices for ending tenancies, including N12 (Landlord’s Own Use) and N13 (Demolition or Major Repairs).

For Tenants

We handle a wide range of disputes related to rental properties, providing comprehensive support for both landlords and tenants. Our NowNotary services include:

If you’ve received an eviction notice, NowNotary provides experienced representation to challenge the eviction, particularly if the notice is based on false or exaggerated claims. We ensure that your side of the story is presented effectively before the LTB.

If you believe your landlord is unfairly charging rent increases or you’ve been wrongly accused of rent non-payment, we offer legal assistance to defend your rights and resolve the dispute fairly.

Tenants have the right to live in rental properties that meet basic safety and habitability standards. If your landlord has failed to maintain your rental unit, NowNotary can help you file applications with the LTB for necessary repairs or compensation.

If your landlord has raised your rent above the legally permitted limit or without proper notice, NowNotary can help you file an application to challenge the increase and protect your rights under the RTA.

Landlords must follow legal procedures when entering a rental unit. If your landlord has been entering without proper notice or harassing you, NowNotary can help you file a complaint and seek appropriate remedies.

THE LANDLORD AND TENANT BOARD PROCESS

THE LANDLORD AND TENANT BOARD PROCESS

The Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) is a specialized tribunal that resolves disputes between landlords and tenants. Here’s how NowNotary assists you throughout the LTB process:

We start with a thorough consultation to understand the details of your dispute, review any relevant documentation (e.g., leases, notices, communication), and outline the best approach moving forward.

We help prepare and file all necessary documents, including applications to the LTB (such as L1, L2, T2, etc.) and notices (such as N4, N12). Accuracy is crucial in these filings, and NowNotary ensures everything is done properly and within required timeframes.

We represent you at LTB hearings, where your case will be heard and decided. Our legal team presents a compelling argument on your behalf, supports it with evidence, and cross-examines the opposing party when needed.

Often, disputes can be resolved through negotiation before they reach a hearing. NowNotary negotiates on your behalf to reach favorable settlements that save you time, money, and stress.

If you are unsatisfied with an LTB decision, NowNotary can assist you in filing an appeal, where possible, to have the case reviewed by a higher authority.
