Specialty Appointments

To book an appointment; drop by The Centre, call 519-888-4567, ext. 42268, or Book an appointment on Portal (available beginning at noon, the day prior to the appointment). Once your appointment is booked, an email confirmation will be sent to your UWaterloo email address.

Clinics take place between 9am and 4pm. Each appointment takes approximately 10 minutes. 

• International Students: don't forget to bring your original passport, your original study permit and (if applicable) original work permit.
• Canadian Citizens: must bring two pieces of valid Government-issued identification, one of which must have a photo. 

A commissioner for taking affidavits, or commissioner of oaths, is authorized to take affidavits, oaths, declarations or sworn statements only if the document relates to University business. For example, a commissioner can take a declaration from a document holder that s/he is presenting a true copy of a document held in his/her possession. A commissioner is also able to witness a signature on a document, including a letter of invitation for a Canadian visitor’s visa if it relates to University business, unless the entity issuing or requesting the document requires it to be notarized. 

The Centre has two Commissioners for Taking Affidavits. Appointments must be booked directly with the commissioners by phone or email.
