Question 1

How do you handle confidential or sensitive documents?

Walk-In Notary Burlington · Accepted Answer

Confidentiality is a cornerstone of our service. All of our notaries are licensed Ontario lawyers who are bound by strict professional confidentiality obligations. We maintain encrypted digital records of notarized documents and client identification, stored on password-protected computers with restricted access. These records serve important purposes, including quality assurance, fraud prevention, and regulatory compliance. We do not disclose client information to third parties without consent unless required by law. We also have procedures for securely disposing of records when they are no longer required.

Question 2

How do you ensure documents are completed accurately?

Walk-In Notary Burlington · Accepted Answer

Accuracy is a cornerstone of our business and one reason clients trust Walk-In Notary. In our experience, many lawyers and notaries lack a thorough understanding of notarization requirements, leading to costly mistakes and rejected documents. Unlike many notary services, we have developed an extensive, multi-phase training program that every notary must complete. Our commitment doesn't end there. We conduct regular audits, monitor performance, provide ongoing training, and refine our procedures. Even a minor error can result in a rejected document. Our philosophy is simple: get it right the first time. We leave no room for avoidable mistakes, and believe this is a major reason clients rate us so highly. Our notaries follow established procedures for accuracy and consistency, including verifying identities, witnessing signatures or administering oaths where required, and completing the appropriate notarial jurat. We maintain records for quality assurance and auditing. Clients are responsible for ensuring their documents are prepared and meet the recipient's requirements. Although all our notaries are lawyers, we do not provide legal advice as part of our notarization service.

Question 3

How many remote notarizations do you complete each month?

Walk-In Notary Burlington · Accepted Answer

Walk-In Notary was among the early adopters of online commissioning in Ontario, introducing this service in 2020. We continue to offer online commissioning for eligible documents, including affidavits and statutory declarations. The number of remote commissions varies from month to month, and we do not currently publish a monthly figure. Not all documents are eligible for online commissioning, and we encourage clients to confirm acceptance with the intended recipient before proceeding.

Question 4

What qualifications and licenses do you hold in Burlington?

Walk-In Notary Burlington · Accepted Answer

Every notary at Walk-In Notary is a licensed Ontario lawyer regulated by the Law Society of Ontario. Unlike services that rely on non-lawyer notaries, our lawyer-notaries are qualified to perform the full range of notarial acts permitted under Ontario law. Paralegals do not have the same training as lawyers and are often completely unfamiliar with various documents (eg., Real Estate, Estates, and Family Law Documents). Our notarial signatures and seals are registered with Ontario's Official Documents Services, allowing eligible notarized documents to proceed through the authentication and apostille process for international use.

Question 5

Do you offer mobile notary services?

Walk-In Notary Burlington · Accepted Answer

Walk-In Notary offers a convenient mobile notary service for clients who are unable to visit one of our offices or simply prefer to have a notary come to them. Our experienced notaries, all of whom are licensed lawyers, can travel to private homes, workplaces, hospitals, retirement residences, long-term care facilities, and other suitable locations. We provide a wide range of services, including notarization of documents, commissioning of affidavits and statutory declarations, witnessing signatures, and certifying true copies of documents. Mobile notary services are available by appointment only in select areas across Southern Ontario, subject to availability. Our fees consist of a travel fee, generally ranging from $139 to $599 depending on location and other factors, plus our standard notarization fees. All fees are confirmed in advance. To arrange a mobile appointment, please contact us at 416-731-4065 or contact@walkinnotary.com with your location, document requirements, and preferred appointment time.

Question 6

How do you assist with notarizing documents for international use?

Walk-In Notary Burlington · Accepted Answer

We regularly notarize documents intended for use outside Canada, including affidavits, powers of attorney, educational credentials, corporate documents, and certified true copies. Our notaries' signatures and seals are registered with Ontario's Official Documents Services, making eligible notarized documents suitable for subsequent authentication or apostille processing. We perform the notarization itself, while clients are responsible for obtaining any additional apostille, authentication, or legalization required. We encourage clients to confirm the requirements of the receiving country or organization before visiting us.

Question 7

How much do you charge per document in Burlington?

Walk-In Notary Burlington · Accepted Answer

Our standard fee is $49.99 for the first notarization and $24.99 for each additional notarization performed during the same visit, plus HST. Importantly, our fees are based on the number of notarizations required, not the number of pages or documents. We believe in transparent pricing and publish our fees on our website. Additional charges may apply for services such as document drafting, foreign-language notarization, or mobile visits.

Question 8

How do you manage urgent notarization requests?

Walk-In Notary Burlington · Accepted Answer

Our entire business model is designed around providing convenient, immediate service. Unlike many notarial services that require appointments, Walk-In Notary welcomes clients without appointments during regular business hours. Our Burlington office is open Monday to Friday, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Most clients are served within minutes of arriving, and notarizations are generally completed during the same visit. For unusual or time-sensitive requests, clients are welcome to contact us in advance to confirm that we can accommodate their particular needs.

Question 9

What security measures do you use to prevent fraud?

Walk-In Notary Burlington · Accepted Answer

Fraud prevention is an important part of our notarization process. We require clients to present original, valid, government-issued photo identification and verify that their identity corresponds with the documents being signed. We do not accept photocopies or photographs of identification in place of original identification for in-person notarizations. We also retain secure digital records of client identification and notarized documents. These records provide an important safeguard against fraudulent alterations and allow us to investigate discrepancies. Our notaries follow established identification and record-keeping procedures.

Question 10

How many appointments can you accommodate daily?

Walk-In Notary Burlington · Accepted Answer

Unlike traditional appointment-based notary services, Walk-In Notary operates primarily on a walk-in basis. This means there is no fixed number of daily appointments or predetermined limit on the number of clients we can serve. Our Burlington office welcomes clients throughout the business day, Monday to Friday, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. The number of clients served depends on demand and the complexity of individual requests. Our efficient procedures allow us to quickly handle a substantial volume of clients while ensuring that each notarization receives appropriate professional attention.
