Notarizzazione online a distanza
- Stato
Qui la notarizzazione online a distanza è consentita.
- Base giuridica
Notaries Act (CQLR c. N-3) — current ss. 35.1 ("Notarial acts en minute must be executed in and preserved on a technological medium according to the procedure determined by regulation") and 46 ("The notary may exceptionally... authorize a party who so requests to sign the act remotely"), as amended by S.Q. 2023, c. 23
- Come viene identificato il firmatario
Notary must verify identity per Notaries Act/CNQ standards — government ID presented via videoconference and secure digital-signature platform (CNQ ecosystem, e.g., ConsignO Cloud) (platform detail unverified on CNQ site); notary must ensure "quality of his or her professional services" and "confidentiality of the information exchanged." No KBA
- Limiti massimi di tariffa
Qui non è registrata alcuna tariffa massima per un atto a distanza o un atto notarile standard. L'assenza di un limite non equivale a «nessun limite» — il motivo è indicato nelle note sottostanti.
- Secondo la fonte
Permitted, permanent for notaries: notarial acts on a technological medium. History: temporary Ministerial Order 2020-4304 (Apr 27, 2020) allowed remote notarial acts during the health emergency; made durable and then permanent through amendments to the Notaries Act (assented 2023; some technological-medium provisions phased in force by regulation — in-force status of specific paragraphs as of Aug 2026 (unverified); bill number (unverified)). Chambre des notaires currently advertises "Signing a technology-based notarial act remotely" as an available service. Remote act closes "at the place where the notary signs it." Note: commissioners for oaths cannot handle apostille-bound sworn statements (see this page's document rules). Who can do it: notaries (notarial acts, via CNQ-approved platform with digital signature); commissioners for oaths for ordinary sworn statements (remote oath practice per Code of Civil Procedure/courts — (unverified)); lawyers for affidavits used in court. Fee rules: no statutory tariff for most notarial acts — fees set by agreement; market remote rates vary widely by act (e.g., POA/declarations commonly $100–$300+ at Quebec notary firms) (market range unverified/no single official source). 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
