# Notary Public in Alberta

In Alberta, lawyers and certain designated professionals may serve as Notaries Public. Many routine commissioning services may also be performed by a Commissioner for Oaths.

## Who can act as a notary in Alberta

Active Alberta lawyers are notaries by virtue of their membership in the Law Society of Alberta. Other professionals (MPs, MLAs, judges, students-at-law) may also act, and the Attorney General may appoint additional notaries.

## Common notarial services

-   Notarizing signatures, affidavits, and statutory declarations 
-   Certifying true copies of documents 
-   Administering oaths and affirmations 
-   Witnessing travel consent letters and international forms 

## How fees work

Alberta notaries set their own fees. Mobile-notary pricing typically reflects travel distance and time-of-day.

## Apostille & international authentication

Alberta documents are apostilled by Global Affairs Canada (Ottawa) or, for provincial documents, may first be authenticated through Alberta Justice before being apostilled.

## Frequently asked questions

### What's the difference between a Notary Public and a Commissioner for Oaths in Alberta?

A Commissioner can administer oaths and take affidavits within Alberta. A Notary Public can do that plus certify true copies and notarize documents for use outside the province or country.
