The Government of Ontario enacted O.Reg 431/20, Administering Oath or Declaration Remotely, on August 1, 2020. Based on O.Reg 431/20, Commissioner of Oaths and Taking Affidavits is given authority to administer oaths or declarations via a digital platform which allows himself and the deponent or declarant to see, hear and communicate with each other in real-time throughout the entire transaction (usually a video call or video conference platform). This option, therefore, is not available for certifying a true copy of the original document which shall be notarized by the Notary in-person.
