The Township of Lucan Biddulph provides Commissioner of Oaths services. We commission documents like Declaration of Vehicle Transfers and general affidavits. To have something commissioned, everyone who needs to sign the document must be present and have valid photo ID.
Appointments are strongly recommended to ensure a Commissioner of Oaths is available. Please contact the office at 519-227-4491 in advance or submit a request for commissioner of oath services using our citizen portal request located on our website.
Commissioning services are provided Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Municipal Office, 270 Main Street, Lucan. The fee for this service is $10 for Lucan Biddulph residents or business owners and $20 for non-residents.
The Commissioner is not responsible for the content of the affidavit - That is the responsibility of the person whose signature is being commissioned. You must understand the details of what you are signing and their correctness.
