Katherine Pomerleau, Commissioner of Oaths

Commissioner of Oaths in Dieppe

Katherine Pomerleau is a Commissioner of Oaths for New Brunswick, based at Grand-Barachois and available in the Moncton area, including Dieppe, by arrangement. She administers oaths and affirmations and witnesses statutory declarations and affidavits, in person.

A city that has grown quickly

Dieppe is a city of roughly twenty-seven thousand and one of the three communities that make up Greater Moncton. It has been among the fastest-growing municipalities in the province for two decades, and growth of that kind leaves a trail of documents behind it: new addresses, first homes, changes of residence, and the declarations that banks, insurers and government offices ask for when a file has to catch up with where somebody actually lives. Those forms are routine, but the sworn ones hold the file up until the signature has been made in front of a commissioner.

Travel documents and the airport

The Greater Moncton Roméo LeBlanc International Airport sits within Dieppe, a few kilometres east-northeast of downtown Moncton. Travel produces a specific and time-sensitive kind of paperwork: consent letters for a child travelling with one parent or with someone else, declarations of guardianship, and statements supporting applications made abroad. These are forms where a missing sworn signature is discovered late and matters immediately, so they are worth dealing with before the week of departure rather than during it.

Living in one community, filing in another

Greater Moncton is three municipalities that function as one place, and people routinely live in Dieppe while dealing with an office in Moncton or Riverview. That split shows up on forms: an address in one municipality, an employer in a second, a school or an insurer in a third. None of that troubles a sworn declaration, but it does mean the document usually has to be right the first time, because the office that rejects it is rarely the one you can walk back into that afternoon.

Appointments in Dieppe are by arrangement rather than at a fixed office. Please note that a commissioner of oaths is not a notary public: she does not notarize or certify documents, and she cannot advise you on what your document should say.
