Finding the right notary public is essential to ensure your documents are properly notarized and legally valid. When choosing a notary in British Columbia, consider:

• Credentials: Verify they are a licensed notary public in BC and in good standing.
• Experience: Look for specialization in the type of document you need, such as real estate contracts, wills, powers of attorney, or affidavits.
• Fees & Availability: Ask about costs upfront and scheduling flexibility.
• Reputation: Check reviews or ask for recommendations.

By carefully selecting a notary who is licensed, experienced, and reputable, you can save time, avoid costly errors, and feel confident that your documents meet all legal requirements.

Once you’ve selected a notary, proper preparation saves time. Bring the following to your appointment:

• Valid government-issued photo ID and another piece of ID. (e.g., BC Services Card, Credit Card, Student ID, SIN Card, Birth Certificate.)
• The original documents to be notarized
• Supporting documents, if required (e.g., prior agreements, certified copies)
• Payment for the notary’s fees

Being prepared ensures a smooth notarization process and avoids delays or rejections.
