Many parents and students don't realize that a Notary is often the missing piece to a smooth school year! Here are 3 common reasons you might need a Notary this September:
School District Enrollment & Residency: Moved to a new district over the summer but don't have standard utility bills yet? Many BC school boards require a notarized Statutory Declaration of Residency to officially register your child.
International & Out-of-Province Students: Heading to a BC college or university? If you need to submit official high school transcripts, degrees, or IDs, a BC Notary can quickly provide Certified True Copies that institutions trust.
Minor Custodianship Declarations: If an international student under 19 is studying in BC without their parents, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) requires a notarized Custodianship Declaration to grant a study permit.
