Oshawa, Ont.-based legaltech software startup NotaryPro has partnered with Staples Canada to bring its notarization services to the office supply retail company’s website and stores.
The partnership will allow Canadian individuals and businesses to complete online notarization using NotaryPro’s software. On Nov. 18, Staples stores across Canada began introducing online terminals where customers can connect with a notary on demand. Users can also get documents notarized directly from the Staples Canada website.
“By partnering with NotaryPro, we’re making notarization services faster, more accessible, and convenient,” Ryan Mair, chief services officer at Staples Canada, said in a statement. “This collaboration allows Canadians to handle their important legal and business documents with ease, saving them valuable time and providing the trusted service they deserve.”
Notarization refers to the process of verifying the authenticity of a document, such as a legal name change application, statutory declaration, insurance claim, or residency document. This process, which requires a notary public—an individual who can act as an official witness—and is typically conducted at a notary office, is aimed at preventing fraud and ensuring a document’s validity for legal purposes.
NotaryPro’s software offering includes a legal document creator, live document drafting, and “virtual wet ink” will and power of attorney signings. Using NotaryPro’s online service, individuals and businesses can upload a document to the platform by either uploading, or scanning and digitizing documents with a QR code.
