The Milton Chamber of Commerce can certify Certificates of Origin. A Certificate of Origin (CO) is a document attesting that goods exported in a shipment have been wholly obtained, produced, manufactured or processed in a particular country. COs may be requested by customs administrations, importers, freight forwarders or banks for clearance of letters of credit. The issuance of a CO is an important function for chambers of commerce as many countries view chambers of commerce as credible organizations and require that they authenticate documents with their stamp or seal.
All documents presented to the Milton Chamber for certification must first be notarized. Notarization is a process by which a lawyer or a notary public certifies, from a person’s sworn statement, that the facts described in her/ his signed documents are true. Exporters that frequently use our service often find the notarization process costly and time consuming; an alternative to notarization is the letter of waiver. Along with notarization or a letter of waiver, we also require proof of a company’s registration in Canada with the federal or provincial/territorial government and its annual business license renewal or the like before we will certify any documents.
Please allow sufficient time for the review and certification of your documents. Please scan and email multi-page documents, non-routine documents or background documents for review to info@miltonchamber.ca before obtaining the required notarization. Non-routine documents will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Once reviewed and approved by Milton Chamber staff, you may send the notarized documents by courier or deliver the documents in person to our office at 251 Main Street, East, suite 104 and wait while they are certified by one of our agents.
