Identity & Name Change Declarations – Legally Valid in Ontario
Whether you're applying for government services, immigration documents, or correcting mismatches on official records, identity and name change declarations are often essential. At Notarize Vaughan, we provide fast and legally recognized notarization for these declarations — online or in person.
What Is an Identity or Name Change Declaration?
An identity or name change declaration is a statutory declaration that confirms your identity or explains changes in your name. It is commonly used to resolve discrepancies in legal documents due to:
- Marriage or divorce
- Legal name changes
- Variations in spelling or order of names
- Discrepancies between government-issued IDs
This document is especially helpful when dealing with passport renewals, banking institutions, government forms, or immigration processes where consistent identification is required.
Why Is Notarization Required?
Notarizing your identity or name change declaration:
- Confirms your identity and intent as the declarant
- Adds legal weight and authenticity to the statement
- Ensures the document is admissible for official, legal, or administrative use
- Reduces the risk of fraud or misrepresentation
Under Canadian law, statutory declarations must be signed in front of a licensed notary public, commissioner of oaths, or other authorized official to be legally valid.
When You Might Need It:
- Submitting documentation for IRCC (Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada)
- Updating records with banks, insurance providers, or Service Canada
- Proving legal identity in court, school, or employer processes
