An Oath or attestation is a solemn promises to tell the truth or confirm a fact or statement to be true, similar to a statutory declaration.
If a person lies under an oath or affirmation, they can be charged with perjury.
The witness to your statutory declaration must have the authority to administer oaths and be independent, so cannot be the same solicitor who has prepared your documents.
In English law, the commissioner for oaths is a person appointed by the Lord Chancellor to be able to give an oath or take affidavits.
A Commissioner for Oaths can include:
Notary Public
Solicitor
Barrister
Legal Executive
Licensed Conveyancer
Please note that we do not provide any advice on the documents to which the declaration is being made.
