An affidavit is based upon either the personal knowledge of the affiant or his or her information and belief. Personal knowledge is the recognition of particular facts by either direct observation or experience. Information and belief is what the affiant feels he or she can state as true, although not based on firsthand knowledge.
An affidavit is a written statement of facts voluntarily made by an affiant under an oath or affirmation administered by a person authorized to do so by law.
In Canada, individuals who can notarize documents include lawyers, notary publics, and other professionals authorized by provincial or territorial law. Each professional category comes with specific legal authority and limitations.

U.S. embassies and consulates provide notarial services like a notary public in the United States. A notary is someone who witnesses you sign a document. In countries that are part of the Hague Convention, get your document notarized by a local notary.
Embassy and consular staff are authorized to notarize documents being sent to their home countries.

Notarization. To have your notarized copies made of your foreign documents, you must bring the original documents to a notary public. The documents can be in any language. The notary will imprint their seal and signature on the document, and provide a stamp indicating that it is a true copy of the original document.
WDC Apostille & Legalization Services can assist Canadians in the USA via notarization of their original Canadian documents at the Embassy of Canada in Washington, DC. The notarization will be done by Canadian Consul acting in the legal capacity of a Canadian notary public.
To notarize a document, the signers need to provide proper identification so the notary can confirm the identity of all signers. Once identities have been verified, the notary leads each signer through the document and observes them making each required signature, initial or other mark.
Answer: Yes. 22 C.F.R. 92.4(b) provides that these services may be performed for any person regardless of nationality so long as the document in connection with which the notarial/authentication service is required is for use within the jurisdiction of the United States.
You can obtain a notarization at financial institutions, law firms, postal offices, or through individual providers, provided Global Affairs Canada has a copy of the signature and stamp of the Notary Public on file. Without this requirement, many documents cannot be aspotilled.
