Walk-In Notary
4 Robert Speck Parkway, Suite 1500 L4Z 1S1 Mississauga, ON, Canada

People often ask us how long they’ll have to wait to see a notary and how long it takes to have something notarized. The short answer to this is not very long at all. The more detailed answer is this: because we offer a walk-in service we cannot predict when clients will attend our office and how many will attend at any given time. That said, we crunched the numbers and found that on average a person waits in our lobby for 32 seconds. The average amount of time that it take...s to notarize a document is 4 minutes and 27 seconds. Keep in mind that this is an average. Depending on how many documents you require to be notarized, the amount of time can be twice or three times as long. Walk-in services, such as a walk-in medical clinic, are usually associated with long wait times but this is not the case here at Walk-In Notary. We understand that your time is valuable and we do our best to provide you with a very fast service! Most clients are actually surprised by how little time it takes to have their documents notarized. We pride ourselves on our ability to do this. The reason we can do this is that we have notarized thousands of documents over the years (probably more than any other notary in Canada) so there is nothing that can surprise us. We can analyze your needs almost immediately and deliver a fast and professional service.

We sometimes get asked if we can make certified copies of non-English documents. The answer is Yes!, so long as the document that you need a copy of is an original document. What is an original document? An original document contains either a seal, a signature, or a stamp. If a document does not contain any of these (e.g. Income Tax Returns) then we can administer your oath that it is a copy of an original document and notarize that instead. There are lots of work-arounds. Fortunately, the language that the document is in does not have any bearing on whether we can notarize the document. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us. Give us a call at 905-366-4356, or email us at [email protected]

Non-Canadians are sometimes required to gain permission from the Canadian government in order to visit Canada, depending on their country of citizenship. This permission is granted in the form of a Visitor’s Visa. One of the requirements for obtaining a visitor’s visa is an Invitation Letter from a resident of Canada. So, for example, if your cousin lives in India and he wants to visit Canada for a few weeks, you will need to provide him with a letter of invitation that he wi...ll submit to the Canadian Government along with his Visitor’s Visa application. Over the years we have notarized hundreds of letters of invitation and we have noticed that many of them are badly written. Consequently, clients sometimes return to our office to have the letters notarized again or for us to write the letter for them. It’s not enough to simply state you wish to invite your friend or family member to Canada. The Canadian government is looking for a list of very specific information and wording regarding the responsibilities you are willing to assume, information about your employment and banking details, as well as information about the person you are inviting. If you are not sure about what to put in the letter or how to write it, take advantage of our drafting services. For only $59.99 we will write you a letter that contains all of the information that the Canadian government generally looks for. Although we cannot guarantee that your family or friend will be able to obtain a visitor’s visa due to the fact that the visa application depends on numerous factors, we can guarantee that your letter will be well written and properly notarized.
