Occasionally you may need to have your signature witnessed by a Solicitor/Commissioner for Oaths, in other words to "swear" a document. You may need to do this if, for example, you lose your house Deeds or act as an Executor. There is a statutory charge for this service of £5 per document and £2 for each exhibit.*

If the document is for use in any country other than England or Wales then it must be Notarised.

* An exhibit is any document referred to in the document you are swearing. For example, the Will must be produced when swearing an Oath for Executors.
