HOW LONG IS A NOTARIZED DOCUMENT VALID IN CANADA?

Notarized documents do not expire in Canada. As long as the notary commission held by the notary public was valid at the time of notarization, the notarization will remain valid. Therefore, notarized documents usually have no expiration date in Canada, and you do not need to renew them. It is important to note that the document itself may have an expiration date separate from its notarization. It depends on the type of document and what is stated in the document itself. Therefore, it is important to read all documents carefully before signing and notarizing them.
