What Are Oaths and Affirmations?
In notarial terms, an oath is a solemn promise invoking a higher power, while an affirmation is a pledge based on personal honor without religious reference. Both are legal tools that bind you under penalty of perjury—your choice between them has equal legal weight (nationalnotary.org). Administering oaths or affirmations is a formal notarial act commonly required in legal proceedings, public office, or sworn statements.
As your trusted oaths and affirmations notary public, we ensure everything is done correctly, professionally, and in compliance with California law.
When You’ll Need an Oath or an Affirmation
These notarial declarations are often required in a variety of contexts, including:
- Swearing affidavits or sworn statements
- Testifying under oath in legal or government proceedings
- Taking an oath for public office or professional responsibilities
- Filling out certain forms that require a sworn declaration
- Complying with court filings, depositions, or legal affidavits
In some cases, you may also need a formal jurat—where you swear to the truth of a written statement—often paired with the oath or affirmation process.
How We Administer Oaths and Affirmations
Our process aligns with California notary guidelines and is executed with ceremony and clarity.
- In-Person Appearance
You must personally appear before the notary—remote options are not permitted (nationalnotary.org). - Identity Verification
We confirm your identity with acceptable government-issued ID before proceeding. - Ceremonial Gesture (Optional)
You may raise your right hand or place it over your heart for solemnity and clarity (nationalnotary.org, notary.net). - Swearing the Oath or Affirmation
We ask a statement such as “Do you solemnly swear… so help you God?” for oaths, or “Do you solemnly affirm… under penalty of perjury?” for affirmations (nationalnotary.org). - Clear Response Required
Your spoken confirmation (“I do,” “I affirm”) is recorded in a clear, affirmative manner (nationalnotary.org). - Notarial Certificate and Record
We complete the certificate and record the act in our notary journal.
