Plain-language summary · AI-assisted
A new fee has been introduced for commissioners appointed to take affidavits in Ontario. Anyone who needs to change the wording on their commissioner's stamp must now pay $17 to the Crown. The existing fees — $75 for a new appointment and $50 for a renewal — remain unchanged. Commissioners who are employees of certain governments or bodies are already exempt from the appointment and renewal fees, but the regulation text does not extend that exemption explicitly to this new stamp-change fee. Affected commissioners should be aware of this cost when updating their stamps.
