For your any specific question feel free to Call us or Schedule an appointment.
Do I need an appointment to see the Notary?
Yes, we highly recommend clients book an appointment prior to visiting us, as we are typically fully booked throughout the week. If you are unsure about whether you need to speak directly with the Notary, please give us a call and we would be delighted to answer any questions you may have.
Do I need to bring ID to my appointment? What type of ID works?
Yes, BC Notaries are required to confirm and keep a record of the existence and identity of every individual, corporation, or entity on whose behalf I conduct a financial transaction. To comply with our obligations, we must review original identification documents and keep copies for a minimum of 10 years. Valid identification means government-issued picture identification: your Provincial Driver’s Licence or government-issued identification, permanent resident card, or passport. We prioritize your privacy and will keep and disclose it only as mandated by law.
What type of payment do you accept?
We accept credit or debit cards, cash, cheques, or e-transfers. We do NOT accept Wechat payments.
How much do you charge for a document notarization?
- For standard documents, such as an Invitation Letter, our fee is $60.00 plus taxes for the first notarized document, and $30.00 plus taxes for each additional document signed at the same appointment.
- For Land Title Office forms, our fee is $250.00 plus taxes per form package.
- For a complete Real Estate Transaction package or Mortgage document package, our fee is $499.00 plus taxes for the entire package.
- For international document Apostille applications, our fee is $350.00 plus taxes for one original document package. The fee includes notarization, preparation and submission of the Apostille application, and round-trip courier service. If multiple documents are included within the same application package, an additional $30.00 plus taxes per document will apply.
I am unable to come to your office, can you meet with me at my home or the hospital?
Yes, under normal circumstances, at the discretion of the Notary, we will conduct house/hospital visits at an additional cost.
I know you have two office locations: the main office in North Vancouver and the satellite office at Langley. When do you work at the Langley office?
Our Langley office is by appointment only. Should you prefer to meet with Lisa at our Langley office, kindly inform us in advance and we will book you in promptly.
What Is the Difference Between a Notary Public and a Lawyer In BC?
Although BC Notaries and lawyers both deal with legal matters, BC Notaries do not represent clients in court and do not get involved in litigation or family law or agreements, including separation, divorce, adoption, or child custody. In the realm of real estate, BC Notaries pass the same real estate bar exam as lawyers to facilitate real estate transactions.
