Apostille in Saskatchewan
Which documents this office will accept
- Wet ink
The document must carry an original, hand-signed signature (and seal where one applies).
An electronically notarized document — what a remote online notarization produces — cannot satisfy that, so a RON notarization cannot feed this paper chain.
- From the source
Documents must bear "original (wet ink) signature and stamp"; must be notarized by a SK notary/lawyer unless original vital statistics certificate, U of S / U of R diploma, or court document signed by a court official. Authentication Services does not provide notary services
Certifications you may need first
No additional certification step is required before the apostille.

Remote online notarization
- Status
A grey area: no statute authorizes remote notarization, and none prohibits it.
- How the signer is identified
None prescribed by statute; Law Society of Saskatchewan client-verification rules for lawyers (photo ID; virtual verification methods). No KBA
- Fee caps
No maximum fee is recorded here for a remote act or for a standard notarial act. A missing cap is not the same as “no cap” — the reason is in the notes below.
- From the source
No express provision in The Commissioners for Oaths and Notaries Public Act, 2012 for remote commissioning; COVID-era (2020) court/Ministry guidance permitted remote commissioning of affidavits — current status of that guidance unverified (no active remote-commissioning directive found on sasklawcourts.ca or saskatchewan.ca as of Aug 2026). Practical constraint: SK Authentication Services requires "original (wet ink) signature and stamp" on documents submitted for apostille — remotely signed/e-signed notarizations are effectively unusable for SK apostilles. Who can do it: commissioners for oaths and notaries public (lawyers are ex officio); acceptance depends on the receiving authority (unverified beyond COVID-era practice). Fee rules: no statutory cap found (unverified — no fee tariff located in the Act/regulations). Act citation: The Commissioners for Oaths and Notaries Public Act, 2012, SS 2012, c C-16.001 (no remote provision) (unverified — text not directly fetched)
