Professional Notary Public
A legal name change in Ontario is a formal court process that requires precision. Whether you are reclaiming your birth name or affirming a new identity, following the correct steps is vital.
The Ontario Name Change Application (Form 11155)
This comprehensive application requires you to detail your history and residency. A key part of the form is the Statutory Declaration, where you swear that all information provided is true and complete.
Why a Notary is Mandatory
The Statutory Declaration section of Form 11155 must be signed in the presence of a Notary Public or Commissioner of Oaths. The Notary verifies your identity and applies their official seal, which is required by the Office of the Registrar General to process the change.
