UK Solicitor in India Providing Commissioner for Oaths Services in India
As per UK law, a Commissioner for Oaths is appointed by the Lord Chancellor to administer oaths and affidavits. While all practicing solicitors possess these powers, they must abstain from using them in cases where they represent any party or have a vested interest. Mr. Wazir Singh Soni, a solicitor at Wazir Solicitors, holds the title of Commissioner for Oaths, granting him the authority to administer oaths, take affidavits, certify documents, and more.
"Mr. Wazir Singh Soni, Advocate (India) and
One of the fundamental principles for solicitors is maintaining complete impartiality in the matters they handle. A solicitor performing a "swear" or "statutory declaration" is not involved with the document's contents, beyond the formal act of administering the oath or declaration. However, if a solicitor has valid grounds to suspect the oath or declaration is false, they must refuse to administer it.
Procedures for Oaths and Certifications?
In situations where an oath must be sworn, such as by an executor during the probate process, the individual will need to sign a document in the presence of a solicitor and swear or affirm that the information contained within it is accurate.
When a document requires certification, for instance, to prove one's identity to a third party like another solicitor or a government department, the individual can attend an appointment with a solicitor, bringing original copies of supporting documents such as a passport or utility bill. The solicitor will then certify that these supporting documents are genuine and can be relied upon to confirm the person's identity.
List of some of the documents that can be witnessed, sworn and certified include the following:
- Sponsorship Declaration
- Passports Certified
- Utilities and council tax statements
- Wills
- Powers of Attorney's
- Proof of identity when marrying abroad
- Land Registry ID1 forms
