  • How to Sign Electronically

    You will receive an email to access your document on the ConsignO-CNQ platform                       
    The sender is “Votre Notaire”.
    During the Virtual Meeting, the Notary will inform you when you may access the signing platform. To access the document, you will receive a secondary verification code on your phone.
