For many Spanish speakers, the word “Notario” carries a very specific meaning back home. In countries like Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, or Spain, a Notario is a legal professional with powers similar to a judge.
In Ontario, Canada, the equivalent is a Notary Public. Understanding this difference is important so you know exactly what services a Notary Public can provide here.
