Commissioner For Oaths

Ensure Legal Compliance with a Commissioner for Oaths

A Commissioner of Oaths administers legal oaths and takes/attests affidavits, affirmations, and declarations. In practice, this involves signing each document before stamping it with an official stamp.

At Edmonton Fingerprinting Services, we have developed a tried-and-tested process for ensuring sworn affidavits and statutory declarations are administered according to Canadian law. If you need our expert help, make an appointment online or get in touch for more details.

What Is a Commissioner for Oaths?

A commissioner for oaths is an individual – authorized by the Province of Alberta – who takes an oath when someone signs a statutory declaration or affidavit. Commissioners for Oaths are appointed according to the Notaries and Commissioners Act. The oath doesn’t prove or disprove the statement; it merely shows that the correct procedure took place when the affidavit was created and signed.

Commissioners for Oaths in Alberta are authorized to administer Affirmations and Solemn Declarations, too. Appointed by the Ministry of Justice and Solicitor General, Commissioners for Oaths perform an administrative task, and in no way testify as to the voracity of the statements they witness.

What Is an Affidavit?

An affidavit is a sworn statement contained within a legal document. These documents must be verified by the oath of affirmation of the person making the statement.

What Is a Statutory Declaration?

A statutory declaration is a sworn statement contained within a document that is verified by the solemn declaration of the individual making the statement. This mechanism of verification is used when the legislative authority for an affidavit is absent.

Note: Commissioners of oaths in no way comment on or verify the truthfulness of a statement. Their job is to demonstrate the statement was obtained, delivered, and recorded according to Canadian law.
