How to eSign a document: online signature legality for Disclosure Notice in Canada

hey guys welcome to my channel in this video i'm gonna talk about how to legally change your name in ontario since i just got my name chain certificate and i know the process i've been through it um and also there is no such youtube video that talks about the whole process that guides step by step uh that walks you through the application so that's why i've decided to make this video to make your process a little bit easier so without wasting any time let's get started so first we're gonna type ontario name change and then i'm gonna click this link ontario.ca uh on name change i'm gonna change my name as an adult adult name change so you can change your name as an adult if you are 16 years of age or older and has lived in ontario for the past 12 months if you have these two things then you can definitely apply for name change in ontario so here i'm gonna download this application so to download this application you must have acrobat version 10 or above you can download it uh the thing from here in case or for some reason you can't download it this file i'll try to put it in description box to make it easier for you guys to access the file so here now it's downloaded i'm gonna open this one first you print this application and then start filling it with blue or black ink so once you finish your application sign it do all the important steps that you need to then you mail your application to this address in case you want to discuss about um any situation you want to confirm something contact number um that you can contact too it's very very important to understand the application before filling it i spent almost like a week to understand the application read it again and again so that i don't miss anything so i highly encourage you guys to do the same thing uh so this is just a statement that this application is a permanent legal record so your name will be published in the ontario gazette uh so this is the government's um official publication so that can be searched online if you're changing a child's name then your child should be 17 years of age or younger same thing they must have lived in ontario for the last 12 months so get the right number of application forms so if you're feeling let's say for yourself and for your child you need two separate applications for for you and your child make sure you allow enough time to complete the application because as it states here it may take several weeks to gather all the required information to finish this form so please print clearly use blue or black ink do not use correct full correction food on this application that's a very important step in case you skip something because you made a mistake please print a new page instead of just using a correction food or like just cancelling it to avoid the hassle because afterwards what you have to do in case you do that then you have to put a bracket around the wrong information um and then you enter the correct information and then you're gonna put your initials and then you have to come get it commissioned by the person who is going to commission your form at the end um so that's a lot of hassle so i would suggest printing a new page instead yeah then here it talks about the fees 137 for adult name change so if you're changing your child's name with your application or with you then it's going to be 22 but if you're changing your child's name separately then it's gonna be 30s 137. so here um we're gonna fill out the details about our current name so let's say my current name is alex let's say if you have any middle name you're gonna put your middle name so in my case um so what happened in punjabi indian community at least in my case so we all have a common name as cor and singh and second part is our surname was something that was never mentioned veganly in papers so we have obviously we all have our surname but it was never mentioned on passports or birth certificates so so when i came in canada i got to know that we have to have our last name so in my case in my passport it's just given name if you are if you have the same thing then it's only our last name the whole name is uh last name so um i'm gonna put like everything in here let's see abc core uh is my whole name and then your uh street address abc [Music] if you have your apartment or unit or suit number then you're gonna put it here purebox city i'm just putting anything random and then here you're gonna mention how many for how many years you have been living in um ontario or in my case i was born in india and then uh punjab was my state and then you're gonna put your city or town or village mentioned in your passport i know sometimes um so it's it's a little bit weird but um our passport says one thing but

or any other province so you have to submit your original birth certificate or certified copies of birth so don't worry about that they'll return everything um after confirming your information if you're born outside of canada then um they need your legal name proof and if you have ever changed your name then they need proof of that as well for some reason if there are differences in your name or date of birth or place of birth between your ids then they'll ask for um additional documents for that so you have to submit a written explanation with the form stating why the information is different and any supporting documents that can show that all so all people born outside of canada are required to submit so first photocopy of the original birth certificate or photocopy of certified uh copy of birth registration from the country of birth and then if you don't have one then you have to include a signed written explanation of the reason why you don't have birth certificate and what have you done to try to get it i know a lot of people don't have birth certificate so you make sure you include that written explanation of [Music] the attempts you made to get it and why you couldn't get it and the second thing is like you have to submit a photocopy of a canadian citizenship card or certificate both sides and then photocopy of any um your canadian record of immigrant landing your study permit your work permit whatever and then pr card if you have one um for both sides again and then third you have to submit a photocopy of your passport that you used to enter canada so yeah that's for uh outside of canada next thing is like if you're born outside of canada and you don't have your birth certificate in english then you have to um follow the following instructions here given here so first that document needs to be translated in english or french so what do they need is a complete photocopy of the document requiring translation photocopy and then a photocopy a complete photocopy of the translation of that original document so both of these photocopies will work but for the written declaration they need original so an original written declaration from one of the following so from the person who is translating your document so with their signature and snap so the translator must state that they understand english or french along with the language they are translating and their declaration that the translation is accurate and complete so if the translation um if the translator is uh not a professional translator then the declaration must be sworn in front of the the commissioner for taking affidavits but i would strongly suggest you guys to go to the professional i made that mistake because of what i my form was returned to me and it got delayed by like two months i would say so don't make that mistake it's better just to go to the professional and get your thing done so if your translators declaration is written on the translation then you have to submit the original document do not submit the photocopy so again let me let me say it again because that's very important step photocopy of your um of your birth certificate or any other document that's not in english or french only the photocopy and then the photocopy of the translation so the translation that was done from your language so again photocopy for that but an original written declaration from the professional translator so that's original do not send photocopy they'll return it to you okay part five explains um about all the documents that is required to be completed everything you need make sure you read it fully to understand to to just to confirm that you have completed everything and then part six explains about getting your form commissioned by the commissioner so the commissioner can be any of these listed here so i chose a liar entitled to practice law in ontario and this is the final step of the application so make sure what you need to do before going to the commissioner so make sure you get your application signed by all the necessary people gather all the documents that are required so this is this is why uh this is what part five talks about just double check every that everything um that you need is completed before going to the commissioner and then bring the application on all the documents to the commissioner including your birth certificates or any other [Music] relevant documents to your situation and then you're gonna sign the next page in front of the commissioner and then commissioner is gonna sign it and then one important part is then that whatever correction you made in your application make sure the commissioner puts his or her initials beside that changes because otherwise those are not going to be accepted to avoid any any delay in your application just make sure the commissioner purchaser and her initials beside any change so that's why i suggest you to keep that keep the completed application for like for a good few days just to double check that everything um mentioned here is completed in your application because you don't want delay in your process this part so here yes this is the part we were talking about so here um you're gonna place your initial in the box you're gonna print your name and then you're gonna sign it in for must be signed in front of the commissioner for taking affidavits and then here the the commissioner is going to sign and then your their their stamp their um occupation and then here your payment method your name your your subject's information is your your child's um name and everything so fees uh if you are the only one who is applying for the name change then you're gonna you're gonna just say like 1 137 and then you're gonna say 137 dollars here but if you're changing your name with your child then you're gonna 137 plus 22 you're gonna say one one if you're changing your two children's name then you're gonna put two here then you're gonna add
