Commissioner of Oaths 

What is a Commissioner of Oaths?

A Commissioner of Oaths is an individual authorised to witness the signing of significant legal documents, such as affidavits and statutory declarations.

Appointed by the Chief Justice, Commissioners for Oaths are typically solicitors, though not exclusively. All practising solicitors are also empowered to administer oaths. Unlike a Peace Commissioner, a Commissioner for Oaths provides these services for a fee.
