3 INSTRUCTIONS TO PERSONS AUTHORIZED TO ADMINISTER OATHS, AFFIRMATIONS AND SOLEMN DECLARATIONS WITHIN THE PROVINCE OF ALBERTA A. GENERAL Affidavits are documents containing statements that are verified by the oath or affirmation of the person making those statements. An affidavit must be authorized by legislation (a statute or a regulation which permits or requires the proof of certain facts by way of an affidavit. Statutory declarations are documents containing statements that are verified by the solemn declaration of the person making those statements. A statutory declaration is made pursuant to the Canada Evidence Act or the Alberta Evidence Act and is used in situations where there is no legislative authority for an affidavit. Both acts prescribe the following form for a statutory declarations. If you are unclear as to the uses, format, and/or completion of an affidavit or statutory declaration, please consult legal counsel: "I, A.B. solemnly declare that (state the fact or facts declared to, and I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing it to be true and knowing that it is of the same force and effect as if made under oath. Declared before me at this.... day of Affidavits and statutory declarations are used for the purpose of establishing legal rights and, if they are not properly made, the legal rights sought to be established may be impaired or negated. The importance of affidavits and statutory declarations is reflected in the Criminal Code which provides a maximum penalty of 14 years imprisonment for any person making a false affidavit or statutory declaration. 3

4 In order for an affidavit or statutory declaration to be legally valid, it is essential that the oath, affirmation or solemn declaration be administered properly. A person administering an oath or affirmation may be called into court to establish that an oath, affirmation or solemn declaration was administered properly. It is therefore imperative that the proper procedure be followed on all occasions. The legal validity of an affidavit or statutory declaration will then not be jeopardized, nor will the person who administered the oath or affirmation be embarrassed by failure to recall the procedure used on a particular occasion. As earlier mentioned, the Criminal Code places a high degree of responsibility on that person under section 138 which provides, in part: "Every one who - (a signs a writing that purports to be an affidavit or statutory declaration and to have been sworn or declared before him when the writing was not so sworn or declared or when he knows that he has no authority to administer the oath or declaration,... is guilty of an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment for two years." It is considered poor practice for a Notary Public to take their spouses oath, affirmation or declaration. The reasoning for this is that sections of the Canada Evidence Act and the Alberta Evidence Act protect spouses from giving evidence against one another and this results in possible problems respecting the proof of affidavits in court and prosecution relating to Criminal Code offences involving perjury and the swearing of false affidavits. Before notarizing any document, a Notary Public must carefully review the document to ensure that it is not a legally ineffective or obviously irregular document that should not be notarized. Notarization of such a document is strictly prohibited, as it may lead parties to believe incorrectly that it is legitimate and has some effect in law. Notarizing legally ineffective or obviously irregular documents may also lead to the Minister of Justice and Attorney General revoking the Notary Public s appointment. If any lay Notary Public in Alberta has any concern that a document might be legally ineffective and/or obviously irregular, the document should not be notarized, and the requesting party should be referred to a member of the Law Society of Alberta. B. HOW TO ADMINISTER AN OATH TO A PERSON MAKING AN AFFIDAVIT 4

5 When a person of the Christian or Jewish faith appears before you to make an affidavit, usually an oath is given. The oath should be administered in the following manner: 1. Ask the person appearing before you whether he is the individual named in the affidavit as the person making the affidavit. If you know the person, it is not necessary to confirm his identity. 2. Ask the person to sign the affidavit. If the affidavit has already been signed, ask the person if the signature on the affidavit is his. 3. Hand the person a Bible or New Testament, or, if the person is of the Jewish faith, an Old Testament. Alternatively, you may ask the person if he desires to swear with uplifted hand, in which case the use of the Bible or Testament may be omitted. 4. Address the person as follows: "You swear that the contents of this your affidavit are true. So help you God." 5. The person responds by saying "I do" while holding the Bible or the appropriate Testament in his uplifted hand or while holding his hand uplifted. 6. You must then complete the jurat (see sections E-2 and E-3. Section 15 of the Alberta Evidence Act provides that a person is bound by an oath if it has been administered in such form and with such ceremonies as he may declare to be binding. This allows persons who are not of the Christian or Jewish faiths to be sworn in a manner sanctioned by their religion. C. WHEN AND HOW TO ADMINISTER AN AFFIRMATION TO A PERSON MAKING AN AFFIDAVIT When a person appears before you to make an affidavit but objects to giving an oath (being sworn (a from conscientious scruples, or (b on the ground of his religious belief, or (c on the ground that the taking of an oath would have no binding effect on 5

6 his conscience, the person may give an affirmation, instead of an oath, and the affirmation has the same force and effect as if the person had taken an oath. The affirmation should be administered in the following manner: 1. Before administering the affirmation, you must amend the words "make oath and say" in the introduction to the affidavit to read "solemnly affirm and declare". 2. Ask the person appearing before you whether he is the individual named in the affidavit as the person making the affidavit. If you know the person, it is not necessary to confirm his identity. 3. Ask the person to sign the affidavit. If the affidavit has already been signed, ask the person if the signature on the affidavit is his. 4. Address the person as follows: "Do you solemnly affirm and declare that the contents of this your affidavit are true?" 5. The person responds by saying "I do". 6. You must then certify that the person satisfied you that he was entitled to affirm, which may be done by inserting the following before your signature on the jurat: "I certify that (name of person satisfied me that he was a person entitled to affirm." In so satisfying yourself, you need not enquire beyond the person's verbal statement that he objects to being sworn on one of the grounds listed above. 7. You must then complete the jurat (see sections E-2 and E-3. D. HOW TO ADMINISTER A SOLEMN DECLARATION TO A PERSON MAKING A STATUTORY DECLARATION 6

7 When a person appears before you to make a statutory declaration, the solemn declaration should be administered in the following manner: 1. Ask the person appearing before you whether he is the individual named in the statutory declaration as the person making the statutory declaration. If you know the person, it is not necessary to confirm his identity. 2. Ask the person to sign the statutory declaration. If the statutory declaration has already been signed, ask the person if the signature on the statutory declaration is his. 3. Address the person as follows: "Do you make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing it to be true and knowing that it is of the same force and effect as if made under oath?" 4. The person responds by saying "I do". 5. You must then complete the jurat (see section E-2 and E-3. E. YOUR DUTIES IN COMPLETING THE AFFIDAVIT OR STATUTORY DECLARATION 1. Alterations: If there are any interlineations, alterations or erasures on an affidavit or statutory declaration (including the jurat, you should place a check mark at the beginning and end of each of the changes and then write your initials beside each change. UNLESS CHANGES ARE AUTHENTICATED BY YOUR INITIALS, THE AFFIDAVIT OR STATUTORY DECLARATION MAY NOT BE ACCEPTED IN COURT PROCEEDINGS. The following is an example of this procedure: A.B. fifth February A.B. I did on the fourth day of January, Jurat - Ordinary Form: The jurat is the part of the document which must be completed by you. The ordinary form of jurat for an affidavit is: 7

8 Sworn (or Affirmed before me at Province of Alberta, this day of A Notary Public in and for the Province of Alberta 3. Notary's Name and Appointment Expiry Date As a Notary Public, you must legibly print or stamp in legible printing your name next to your signature on each affidavit, declaration, affirmation or other document that you sign in your capacity as a Notary and if you are appointed under section 2 of the Act, the date on which your appointment terminates. Failure to comply with this requirement makes you guilty of an offence and liable to a fine of up to $ Exhibits: If the affidavit or statutory declaration refers to other documents that are annexed as exhibits, each exhibit should be marked as follows: This is Exhibit referred to in the affidavit (or statutory declaration of (name of person sworn (or affirmed or declared before me this day of , A Notary Public in and for the Province of Alberta 5. Jurat - Where person is blind or illiterate: If the person making the affidavit or statutory declaration is blind or illiterate, you must read the document, or cause it to be read, to the person and then ask the person if he understood what was read to him. You may only administer the oath, affirmation or solemn declaration if you are satisfied that the person has in fact understood what was read to him. In those cases, the ordinary form of jurat must be amended by inserting the following before your signature: "As (name of person is blind (or illiterate, (a this affidavit (or statutory declaration was read to 8

9 him in my presence, (b (c he seemed perfectly to understand it, and he made his signature (or mark in my presence." 6. Jurat - Person who does not understand the English language: If the person making the affidavit or statutory declaration does not understand the English language, a person competent to interpret the contents of the affidavit or statutory declaration must first be sworn using the following oath, or if the interpreter objects to being sworn, an affirmation in similar form may be administered: "You swear that you well understand (the language of the person, that you will well and truly interpret the contents of this affidavit (or statutory declaration to (name of person and that you will well and truly interpret to him the oath (or affirmation or solemn declaration about to be administered to him. So help you God." After the interpreter has interpreted the contents of the document, you must administer the oath, affirmation or solemn declaration to the person through the interpreter and the person should respond by saying "I do" through the interpreter. In those cases the ordinary form of jurat must be amended by inserting the following before your signature: "As (name of person does not understand the English language, this affidavit (or statutory declaration was, in my belief, interpreted to him by (name of interpreter who first swore (or affirmed that he well understands (the language of the person and that he would well and truly interpret the oath (or affirmation or solemn declaration about to be administered." 7. Hearing Impaired If the person making the affidavit or statutory declaration has a hearing impairment, but that person is capable of reading and read the declaration or affidavit or the like and appeared to perfectly understand it and signed his or her name, then this would be acceptable. Below is a sample of the jurat that can be used when the person making the affidavit or statutory declaration is capable of reading and a sample where the hearing and speech impaired person is not capable of reading: Hearing and Speech Impaired Person Capable of Reading 9

10 Sworn (or affirmed/declared before me at the of in the Province of Alberta,this day of A.D., 20 by the above named,who being hearing and speech impaired but capable of reading, read over the above the written instrument, (Signature of Hearing when he appeared perfectly to and Speech Impaired understand it, and signed his name Person in my presence. A Commissioner for Oaths/Notary Public For the Province of Alberta Hearing and Speech Impaired Person Incapable of Reading If the hearing and speech impaired person is incapable of reading, a person competent to interpret the document in American Sign Language (ASL (or a comparable sign language known to the hearing and speech impaired person must first be sworn using the following oath, or if the interpreter objects to being sworn, an affirmation in similar firm may be administered: "You swear that you well understand American Sign Language (ASL and that you will well and truly interpret the contents of this affidavit (or statutory declaration to (name of person and that you will well and truly interpret to him the oath (or affirmation or solemn declaration about to be administered to him. So help you God." After the interpreter has interpreted the contents of the documents, you must administer the oath, affirmation or solemn declaration to the hearing and speech impaired person through the interpreter and the person should respond by saying "I do " through the interpreter. In those cases the ordinary form of jurat must be amended by inserting the following before your signature: " As (name of person being hearing and speech impaired and incapable of reading, this affidavit (or statutory declaration was in my belief, interpreted to him by (name of interpreter who first swore (or affirmed that he well understands American Sign Language (ASL (or name of comparable language and that he would well and truly interpret the contents of this affidavit (or statutory declaration and that he would well and truly interpret the oath (or affirmation or solemn declaration about to be administered," 10

11 F. PERSONS WHO ARE NOTARIES PUBLIC EX OFFICIO By virtue of the Notaries Public Act, the following persons are notaries public without having to be so appointed by the Minister of Justice and Attorney General: (a a member of The Law Society of Alberta; (b a person who is registered as a student-at-law under the Legal Profession Act is ex officio notary public for Alberta. A member of The Law Society of Alberta and a person registered as a student-atlaw under the Legal Profession Act are not entitled to exercise the powers of a notary public under this section while membership or registration is suspended; (c a provincial judge, master in chambers, judge of the Court of Queen's Bench and judge of the Court of Appeal; (d a member from Alberta of the House of Commons of Canada; (e a member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta; (f a member of the Senate of Canada who at the time of his appointment as a senator is a resident of Alberta. As these appointments are ex officio, there is no need to indicate the date of termination of appointment on documents executed by these notaries public. G. DOCUMENTS TO BE USED OUTSIDE OF THE PROVINCE OF ALBERTA When an affidavit or statutory declaration is intended to be used in another jurisdiction, the law of that jurisdiction must be determined to ensure the use of formalities that are necessary in that jurisdiction to have the document accepted for use within that jurisdiction. Very often other jurisdictions require that the documents be completed by a notary public rather than a commissioner. 11

12 H. NOTARY PUBLIC TITLE AND SEAL Frequently printed forms that contain a jurat show the words "Commissioner for Oaths" only, or both "Commissioner for Oaths/Notary Public", as the person who administers the oath. When a notary public completes a jurat, he must substitute for the words "A Commissioner for Oaths" the words "A Notary Public", or strike out "Commissioner for Oaths" where both terms are used. The change must be authenticated in the manner set out in section E-1. Where an affidavit or statutory declaration is made before a notary public within the Province of Alberta for use within the province, it is not essential for the notary to affix his seal to the document. I. LAY NOTARIES PUBLIC LIMITED APPOINTMENTS Under the provisions of the Notaries Public Act, the Minister of Justice and the Attorney General may appoint Notaries Public for the Province of Alberta. The Minister of Justice and the Attorney General may limit the authority of the Notary Public appointed by him so that the Notary may only: (a administer oaths and take affidavits, affirmations and declarations attested by his signature and seal, (b attest all commercial instruments that are brought before him for public protestation, and (c issue certificates under the Guarantees Acknowledgement Act. (d certify copies of documents as being true copies. A limited appointment does not authorize a notary to do conveyancing and the other types of work usually done by lawyers. In that context you must be aware of and comply with section 107(1 and (2 of the Legal Profession Act which reads as follows: "107(1 No person shall, unless he is an active member of the Society hold 12

13 himself out as or represent himself to be an active member of the Society, or a person lawfully entitled to practice law or carry on the practice or profession of a barrister and solicitor. (2 No person shall, unless he is a member of the Society, hold himself out as or represent himself to be a member of the Society, or a barrister and solicitor." Anyone who contravenes these provisions may be prosecuted. 13
