Commissioner for Oaths
What is a commissioner of oaths?
A commissioner of oaths is an individual who is authorised to verify affidavits, which are statements in writing and on oath. They are also authorised to verify other documents.
They can act as an impartial witness to people signing documents, ensuring they not only understand the document but are signing it voluntarily. The role also allows these individuals to verify the identity of signatories and confirm that any statements made are accurate.
Practising solicitors have the power to act as a commissioner of oaths, but they are unable to act on these powers in proceedings they have an interest in.
