All you need to know about remote witnessing
Remote witnessing is a process that allows a certified witness to observe and verify signatures on documents via live video. This eliminates the need for in-person meetings while ensuring compliance with Canadian witnessing requirements.
Most simple agreements, statutory declarations, affidavits and signature-only documents are eligible. Complex legal instruments may require in-person signing, so please confirm before you schedule a session.
Ensure you have a reliable internet connection, a webcam-enabled device, valid photo ID and a clear workspace. Have your unsigned documents ready and any reference information on hand before the session begins.
You will need a government-issued photo ID such as a driver’s license or passport. Ensure your ID is valid and clearly legible on camera during the live video call.
