What Does a Commissioner for Oaths Do?

A Commissioner for Oaths is authorised to verify affidavits and witness certain declarations, affirmations, acknowledgements and other legal documents.

You may require a Commissioner for Oaths when:

  • Swearing an affidavit for Irish court proceedings

  • Making a statutory declaration

  • Signing certain property-related declarations

  • Completing declarations relating to registration of ownership

  • Swearing or affirming other legal documentation

What Is an Affidavit?

An affidavit is a written statement in which a person swears or affirms that the information contained in the document is true.

The affidavit must be signed in the presence of an authorised person, such as a Commissioner for Oaths.

Do not sign the document beforehand if your signature needs to be witnessed.

What Should I Bring?

Bring the document that needs to be witnessed together with suitable identification.

If the document refers to supporting exhibits, such as certificates or other documents, bring these with you as well.

If you're unsure what is required, contact Shannons Solicitors before travelling to our office.

Do I Need an Appointment?

There are four Commissioners for Oaths at our Main Street office in Swords, so an appointment is not normally required.

You can call into the office with your documentation and ID during opening hours.

Do I Need a Notary Public Instead?

If the document is intended for use outside Ireland, you may require a Notary Public rather than a Commissioner for Oaths.

Shannons Solicitors also provides Notary Public services from our Swords office, so if you're unsure which service is required, simply contact us.
