Having a legal document signed (technically known as having your signature witnessed) can be something of a hassle. You may find yourself going about your normal life when suddenly you receive some document which needs your signature witnessed by a “Commissioner for Oaths“. You will probably Google “Commissioner for Oaths” to see what it is! Indeed, if you are reading this article you may have Googled that term, so welcome!
If you are employed then you are probably tied up during the daytime 9am to 5pm. Taking time off work eats into your valuable Annual Leave balance, and can be difficult in many workplaces.
CommissionerForOaths.ie has the solution. It’s a useful service operated by well-known Cork businessman David O’Sullivan who is long-standing Commissioner for Oaths.
He can witness the signing of a range of legal documents for use in Ireland, including Statutory Declarations, Affidavits, and create Certified/true copies. He specialises in a travelling service which operates in the evenings, and travels to you everywhere in Cork City or suburbs. Now, David O’Sullivan has expanded into witnessing the signing of documents for many English speaking countries beyond Ireland.
Foreign documents
USA
