Questions & Answers
Does CertifiO ID meet the requirements of my professional order?
CertifiO ID is aligned with FATF (international) and FINTRAC (Canada) recommendations for legal professionals regarding client identification and verification, including the use of emerging remote verification technologies. The standards adopted in 2024 by the Chambre des notaires du Québec (CNQ) are based on these same recommendations. This is also the case for many of the 14 member organizations of the Federation of Law Societies of Canada.

CertifiO ID is designed to support organizations subject to FINTRAC requirements by providing structured identity verification protocols aligned with recognized anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) obligations.
