Document Commissioning

The Commissioners for taking Affidavits Act allows Municipal Clerks and other Officials (also known as Commissioner of Oaths) to take various types of declarations and to administer oaths.

Please note that the Municipality of Central Huron does not have a Notary Public on staff.

Affidavits

Verified documents containing sworn statements are known as affidavits. Central Huron can sign affidavits. All parties required to sign the document must be present and must provide valid photo identification in order to have a document commissioned.

After the first 3 documents - $10 per document

Note: Town Hall only accepts debit, cash, or cheque.
