The Commissioner for Oaths and Notary Public both have an important role in the proper completion of legal documents in Nunavut.
The services of either a Commissioner for Oaths or a Notary Public are required with increasing frequency for the completion of various documents. It is of the utmost importance that Commissioners and Notaries adhere to the statutory requirements respecting the administration of oaths and taking of affidavits.
A “statutory declaration” is a document containing a statement that is verified by a solemn declaration of a person making the statement.
Example:
I, Jack Doe, of the town of Iqaluit in Nunavut, do solemnly declare as follows…
….. and I make this solemn declaration consciously believing it to be true and knowing that it is of the same force and effect as if made under oath.
A statutory declaration is made pursuant to the Canada Evidence Act or the Nunavut Evidence Act and is used in situations where there is no legislative authority for an affidavit.

The Criminal Registry deals with the administration of all criminal court sittings in the Nunavut Court of Justice, the Nunavut Justice of the Peace Court and Youth Criminal Court sittings.
Criminal Clerks provide support for the administration of criminal court proceedings by preparing all of the paperwork that comes out of a criminal appearance such as probation orders, DNA orders, and documents prepared when someone is sentenced to jail and documenting what has happened in a criminal court matter by keeping track of what happens, a process called updating endorsements.
Criminal Clerks in Nunavut are also responsible for transporting documents and technology such as printers and computers to circuit court locations so that a court sitting can take place. Criminal Clerks sit in court with judges. They are required to open and close court, keep track and monitor court recordings, accept documents and exhibits in court, swear in witnesses, and provide whatever assistance a judge on at a court sitting needs.
While not in court, Criminal Clerks work in the Criminal Registry where they accept and file documents from the policing and enforcement services such RCMP and municipal by-law, lawyers and justice system participants.
An important part of the role of a Criminal Clerk is to make sure that documents that are being filed in Criminal Court follow the criminal rules of court and the practice directives. Criminal Clerks are not lawyers. They are not able to give legal advice to people about court matters or legal issues.
