If you're gifting a used vehicle to a family member in Ontario, you'll need to complete the Sworn Statement for a Family Gift of a Used Vehicle (Form 1157E) — and yes, it can be signed and commissioned online.


At DG Notary, we make the process simple and fully digital. Both the donor (the person giving the vehicle) and the recipient (the person receiving it) must sign the form in front of a notary public. We offer secure virtual appointments so this can be done from the comfort of your home or office.


How It Works:

  • Step 1: Fill out Form 1157E — only complete the sections above the “SWORN before me” portion before uploading.

  • Step 2: Book an online appointment here.

  • Step 3: Meet with a licensed notary from DG Notary online to complete the commissioning process.


Reminder: Both the donor and recipient must appear before the notary and sign the form.

SAME-DAY APPOINTMENT

DG Notary offers in-person and virtual commissioning and witnessing services in full compliance with Ontario's legal and regulatory requirements. Our services are carried out by licensed professionals, including commissioners for taking affidavits and other authorized individuals who are legally permitted to administer oaths, affirmations, and statutory declarations under the Commissioners for Taking Affidavits Act (Ontario) and related legislation.

Please note that online or remote notarization is not yet explicitly regulated under Ontario law. Therefore, DG Notary does not offer online notarial services, including the digital notarization of documents. Any mention of terms such as “notary,” “online notary,” or “notarize online” on our website is used solely in an informal, descriptive context. These references apply only to our lawful remote commissioning and virtual witnessing services, which are separate from formal notarial acts.

DG Notary is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice, representation, or legal opinions. While we assist with online commissioning and witnessing, we do not provide guidance regarding the legal validity, enforceability, or acceptance of documents.

If you need legal advice about executing or using a document, we recommend consulting a licensed lawyer or qualified legal professional. Before using our services, it’s also important to confirm whether the document will be accepted by the intended recipients—such as courts, government bodies, or other organizations—especially when executed electronically or remotely.
