What is a Commissioner for Oaths?
A Commissioner for Oaths is authorised to administer oaths and take affidavits and statutory declarations.

What services do your solicitors and Commissioners for Oaths provide?
Our Birmingham team can assist with statutory declarations, affidavits and the administration of oaths. Our solicitors also offer related services, including document certification, witnessing signatures on suitable powers of attorney, change of name deeds, SIA sworn oath, and ID1 identity verification. The appropriate service depends on your document and the receiving organisation’s requirements.
Can you witness a statutory declaration in Birmingham?
Yes. Our Commissioners for Oaths can take statutory declarations, subject to checking the document and any independence requirements. Bring your completed, unsigned declaration and valid photographic identification. You must formally declare that its contents are true and sign it as directed during your appointment.
Can you administer an oath or affirmation for an affidavit?
Yes. Our Commissioners for Oaths in Birmingham can administer an oath or affirmation for an affidavit where it is appropriate for us to act. Bring the unsigned affidavit, any exhibits referred to in it and your valid photo ID. Tell us beforehand if the document is intended for an overseas authority.
Do I have to take a religious oath?
No. If you do not wish to swear a religious oath, you can make a non-religious affirmation when completing an affidavit. An affirmation has the same legal effect as an oath. A statutory declaration uses its own prescribed declaration wording.

- Valid photographic identification, such as your passport or driving licence.
- The document requiring an oath, declaration or witnessed signature.

- Original documents where you need certified copies.
- Instructions supplied by the organisation requesting the document.
Contact us before attending if you are unsure which documents or identification to bring.
Should I sign my document before the appointment?
Leave documents requiring a witnessed signature, oath or statutory declaration unsigned until your appointment. The solicitor or Commissioner for Oaths will explain when and where to sign. If you have already signed the document, contact us beforehand to check whether you should bring a fresh copy.
Can your solicitors certify copies of passports and other documents?
Yes. Our solicitors can certify copies of suitable documents, including passports, driving licences and supporting records. Bring the originals and any certification instructions.
