What is a Commissioner of Oaths?

A Commissioner Of Oaths is a person appointed by Lord Chancellor with the power to administer oaths. Oaths are generally classed as statements in writing. However some other legal documents also fall within this category. There are a whole host of documents that usually need to be sworn. The most popular is needing a witness when signing a Last Will in Testament. When a witness is required, you must ensure the document is prepared by someone different. Otherwise, the Oath will not be withheld in court. Which could ultimately mean that you are sent to prison, due to having incorrectly sworn information.

Depending on the document that needs witnessing, our prices do vary. However our fees are extremely reasonable.

The functions of Commissioner of Oaths are to:

  • ensure the evidence in question is in a written form (usually an affidavit)
  • establish the person requesting this document has read the draft affidavit, and fully understands the content
  • require the person to swear the affidavit is true, by raising the Testament in their right hand, whilst repeating the words of the oath
  • provide verification that the affidavit was properly sworn, by completing a ‘jurat’
