She comes to you
Home, office, hospital room or a booth at Tim Hortons. There is no waiting room, because there is no office.
Evenings & weekends
Appointments outside business hours are the norm here, not a favour. Same-day is usually available.
Flat, quoted upfront
$45 for the first document in Calgary. You hear the full price before she leaves — never after.
What Peggy commissions
If your form says “sworn before me,” you're in the right place.
Affidavits
A written statement you swear or affirm is true. Used any time a court, employer, insurer or government office needs your account of something on the record.
- Family and civil court affidavits
- Affidavit of Execution for a will
- Affidavit of Service
Statutory Declarations
A formal declaration of fact made outside of court. Alberta Registries, insurers and benefit programs ask for these constantly.
- Common-law / adult interdependent relationship
- Gift of a motor vehicle (Alberta Registries)
- Legal name change supporting declarations
Oaths & Affirmations
Swearing on a religious text or making a solemn affirmation — both carry identical legal weight. It's entirely your choice, and you'll never be asked to explain why.
- Oaths of office
- Solemn affirmations for any commissioned document
- Interpreter's oath where a translator is involved
Child Travel Consent Letters
Travelling without one parent? Border officers routinely ask for a commissioned consent letter. Book before you pack — these are the ones people leave to the last minute.
- Consent to travel for a minor child
- Guardianship travel authorization
- Grandparent or caregiver travel letters
Witnessing Signatures
Many forms simply need an impartial commissioner to watch you sign and confirm you are who you say you are.
- Bank, mortgage and pension forms
- Student loan and school documents
- Employer and HR declarations
Hospital, Care Home & Workplace Visits
Being mobile is the whole point. If getting out is difficult — or simply inconvenient — Peggy comes to you, including evenings and weekends.
- Hospitals and rehabilitation facilities
- Long-term care and assisted living
- Your home, office or a quiet coffee shop

Straight answers
What a Commissioner for Oaths can't do
Plenty of people book the wrong professional and lose an afternoon to it. Here's the honest boundary of the role in Alberta — if your document needs something on this list, Peggy will tell you before you book, not after.
Read the full FAQ- Not a commissioner's role
Certify a true copy of a document
In Alberta this is a Notary Public function, not a Commissioner for Oaths one. If your form says "certified true copy" or "notarized copy", you need a notary — Peggy will tell you straight away rather than waste your appointment.
- Not a commissioner's role
Commission documents outside Alberta
An Alberta Commissioner for Oaths has authority within Alberta only. The document can be used elsewhere in many cases, but the signing has to happen here.
- Not a commissioner's role
Give legal advice
Peggy can explain the commissioning process and what an oath means. She can't tell you what to write, whether to sign, or what your document means for your case — that's a lawyer's job.

Complete your document for you
The content has to be yours. Fill in every blank before the appointment, but leave the signature and date lines empty.

Common questions
Before you book
What exactly is a Commissioner for Oaths?
A Commissioner for Oaths is appointed under Alberta's Notaries and Commissioners Act to administer oaths and affirmations, take affidavits, and take statutory declarations. In practice: when a document says "sworn before me" or "declared before me", a commissioner is the person who signs that line.
How is that different from a Notary Public?
A Notary Public can do everything a Commissioner for Oaths can, plus certify true copies of documents and notarize documents destined for use in other countries. If your form asks for a certified copy or a notarial seal, you need a notary. If it asks for a sworn affidavit or statutory declaration for use in Alberta, a commissioner is exactly right — and usually faster and cheaper.
Do you really come to me?
Yes — that's the entire service. Peggy travels across Calgary and the surrounding communities to homes, offices, hospitals, care facilities and coffee shops. There's no office to drive to and no waiting room.
What identification do I need?
One piece of valid, unexpired government-issued photo identification — an Alberta driver's licence or ID card, a passport, or a permanent resident card. The name on your ID has to match the name on your document. If it doesn't, mention it when you book so it can be sorted out ahead of time.
Should I sign the document before Peggy arrives?
No. This is the single most common reason an appointment goes sideways. Fill in every other blank, but the signature and date must be made in front of the commissioner. If you've already signed, bring a clean unsigned copy.
How much does it cost?
A standard visit within Calgary is $45 for the first document and $10 for each additional document signed at the same appointment. Evenings, weekends, statutory holidays and urgent same-day requests add $25. Travel beyond 25 km from downtown Calgary is $1/km. You'll be told the full amount before Peggy leaves — never after.
