Authentication
Authentication is when the Society of Notaries Public of BC and the BC government certifies that the notary public’s seal and signature appearing on a notarized document is that of a licensed and appointed notary public in and for the province of British Columbia. In some cases, usually if the document is to be used in a foreign country, it may be necessary to have the notary’s seal and signature verified (authenticated) by the Society of Notaries Public of BC and the BC government or the Canadian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. You should contact your country's consulate office to find out what steps you need to complete this task. Our office will also help you in this regard.
A Notary has the authority to administer oaths, solemn affirmations, and declarations that are used for affidavits and statutory declarations.
Affidavit
Affidavit: An affidavit is the written equivalent of giving oral evidence under oath by the “deponent”, who is the person who makes the affidavit. It is a written description of facts. The affidavit is sworn or solemnly declared to be true. An affidavit is usually made in the context of court proceedings. Hearsay evidence is allowed as long as the source of the deponent’s information is identified, and the deponent takes an oath that he/she believes the evidence is true.
Statutory declaration: A Statutory Declaration is when a person solemnly declares that the contents of an official document (written document or government forms, etc.) are true and correct. A solemn declaration has the same legal effect as an oath in the court's eyes.The person making the solemn declaration is called a deponent. The act of administering a solemn declaration is called commissioning a statutory declaration.It is not necessary that the deponent holds a religious book, or raise his or her hand while undertaking a solemn declaration.A person may be prosecuted criminally for knowingly making a false solemn declaration.
