Making Notarization Local Again
We started Notariz with a simple idea: what if finding a local public notary didn’t have to feel like digging through a haystack?
Like many notaries, we’ve spent years trying to serve our communities — but always felt stuck behind search engine ads, confusing directories, and platforms that didn’t understand our work. Clients were frustrated. Notaries were buried. Nobody was winning.
So we decided to build something better — for everyone.
Our Story
We’re a group of Ontario-based public notaries who got tired of how hard it was for everyday people to find notarial services nearby. Searching online often brought up national corporations or paid ads, while the notaries just around the corner got lost in the noise.
And if you were a notary? You were expected to compete by spending big money on ads, directories, or SEO tactics — just to show up.
It didn’t feel fair. Not for you. Not for us. Not for your neighbours.
So we created a platform that does things differently: one built to connect local people with real, local notaries — quickly, fairly, and without the fuss.
Our Mission
To connect Canadians with trusted, verified local public notaries in their area — without the stress, delays, or guesswork.
We believe in making notarization easier, not more complicated. Whether you’re handling legal forms, real estate papers, or ID verification, finding a nearby notary should feel as familiar as texting a friend for help.
Why We're Different
Other sites might flood you with listings or push whoever paid the most to the top. That’s not us.
Whether you’re downtown or in a small town, we make sure it’s easy to find someone close by who can help.
Here’s what makes us stand out:
✅ Only verified notaries
Every notary on our platform is vetted and approved.
✅ Local-first — we match you with professionals actually near you.
✅ No paid rankings — Notaries Dont Pay to be found here.
✅ Easy to use — search, compare, and connect — all in minutes.
Built for Notaries, By Notaries
We know what it’s like to want to serve your community but feel invisible online. That’s why this platform isn’t just for clients — it’s for notaries, too.
Here, notaries don’t need to fight the algorithm or fork over cash just to be seen. Everyone gets a fair shot.
And that means clients get better access to more local public notaries than ever before.
