FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Quick answers

A Commissioner for Oaths is a person authorised under Irish law to witness the signing of legal documents, administer oaths, and take sworn declarations. They are different from a solicitor, though some solicitors are also Commissioners for Oaths. You do not need a solicitor for most commissioning services.

You will need a valid photo ID — a passport or driving licence — and your document(s). Crucially, do not sign the document before your appointment. Your signature must be witnessed in person by Ger as part of the commissioning process.

Most appointments are completed in 15–30 minutes. If you have multiple documents or an unusual situation, it may take a little longer. Ger will give you a realistic estimate when you book.

Commissioner for Oaths fees in Ireland are set by statute and are very reasonable. The exact cost will depend on the type and number of documents. Ger will confirm the fee clearly before your appointment — there are no hidden charges.

Unfortunately, no. Commissioning requires you to sign the document in Ger's physical presence. This is a legal requirement — it cannot be done remotely. However, appointments are available throughout the week to suit your schedule.

Not exactly. A Commissioner for Oaths and a Notary Public are different roles. For most everyday legal declarations in Ireland, a Commissioner for Oaths is all you need. If your document is specifically for use abroad and requires notarisation, Ger can advise you on the next steps.
