Vrijednost koju nismo mogli potvrditi na službenoj stranici nosi oznaku "nepotvrđeno" — no odsutnost te oznake nije jamstvo da je činjenica provjerena, a vlastite sumnje izvora ostaju u bilješkama koje su ovdje doslovno prenesene. Prije slanja dokumenata ili novca potvrdite naknade, adrese i rokove izravno u uredu.

## Checking status and verifying an apostille

- **Provjerite izdani apostille:** https://www.officialdocuments.mgcs.gov.on.ca/en-US/validity-check/ — Ontario runs its own validity check (requires apostille number + issuance date). Ontario apostilles are NOT in the GAC shared tool

## Udaljena internetska javnobilježnička ovjera

- Udaljena internetska javnobilježnička ovjera ovdje je dopuštena.
- **Pravna osnova:** O. Reg. 431/20 "Administering Oath or Declaration Remotely" under the Commissioners for Taking Affidavits Act (made Aug 2020, no sunset; still in force and reflected in Ontario's current commissioner guide)
- **Kako se utvrđuje identitet potpisnika:** Reg. text: "The person administering the oath or declaration confirms the identity of the deponent or declarant" — no prescribed method; Ontario guide requires "reasonable precautions." Practice: government photo ID shown and inspected on video; for lawyers/paralegals, LSO By-Law 7.1 client-verification methods (authentication of government photo ID via technology, credit-file, or dual-process method) apply when acting for a client. No KBA requirement
- Za udaljena radnja ovdje nije zabilježena najviša naknada. Nedostatak gornje granice nije isto što i „nema granice” — razlog je u bilješkama u nastavku.
- **Iz izvora:** Permitted, permanent. Covers oaths, affirmations, statutory declarations. The Notaries Act has no express remote-notarization provision — virtual "notarization" in practice rides on O. Reg. 431/20 for sworn documents; fully-remote certified true copies are common market practice but not expressly legislated (unverified). Who can do it: commissioners for taking affidavits (incl. every Ontario lawyer and paralegal by virtue of licence) and notaries public administering oaths/declarations. Other statutory conditions (verbatim from reg): live audio-video "see, hear and communicate... in real time throughout the entire transaction"; modified jurat stating the oath "was administered in accordance with this Regulation" + locations of both parties; commissioner's stamp info on the document; "shall keep a record of the transaction." Fee rules: no statutory cap on notarial fees; commissioners/notaries set market fees. Market rates (as of Aug 2026): Notarize.ca (online commissioning under O. Reg. 431/20): "$37.99 for the first notarization and $24.99 for each additional notarization, plus HST" — also states recipients "are not required to accept" remotely commissioned documents. NotaryPro (notarypro.ca) offers "virtual commissioning and virtual witnessing" but disclaims online notarial acts: "Online or remote notarization is not yet explicitly regulated under Ontario law. As a result, NotaryPro does not provide online notarial services." — advertises ~7-minute completion; per-document price not published on fetched page (typical $25–$45 range (unverified)). Canada Notary (canadanotary.ca): $15 promotional rate at new Ontario locations. Toronto notary practice (torontonotary.com): remote OK for oaths/declarations; certified true copies and seal-bearing notarial acts require in-person ("the notary must see the original physically") — relevant to apostille workflows. Apostille interplay: GAC and provincial competent authorities require original/wet-ink signatures and seals — remotely executed, purely electronic notarizations are generally unusable for apostille unless printed/wet-signed by the commissioner
