Under UK law, a Commissioner for Oaths is a person appointed by the Lord Chancellor with the authority to administer oaths or take affidavits. All practising solicitors have these powers but must not use them in proceedings in which they act for any of the parties or in which they have an interest. Mr Arshad Mahmood is a practising solicitor at Premium Solicitors Ltd and, therefore, a Commissioner for Oaths, with authority to administer oaths, take affidavits and statutory declarations, and certify documents as true copies of the original.
A Commissioner for Oaths administers oaths and takes affidavits and statutory declarations. You may need this service when a court, public authority or another organisation asks you to make a formal sworn statement or declaration.
At your appointment, you make the required oath, affirmation or declaration and sign the document before the authorised person, who completes the relevant attestation. The attestation records where and when the document was sworn or declared.
Mr Arshad Mahmood is a Solicitor and Commissioner for Oaths at Premium Solicitors Ltd with more than 21 years of Post Qualification Experience (PQE) as a Solicitor and Commissioner for Oaths.

Natalie Vallade
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Amazing service as a Commissioner of Oaths. We were able to book an appointment for Sunday morning so that my husband and I could attend without having to take time off work. We needed to have some legal documents from the Republic of Ireland witnessed and every other Solicitor I had contacted had not responded to my requests.

Do I need to book an appointment?
Please book an appointment before attending our London office. This allows us to confirm the service required, the applicable fee and the documents you must bring. If your matter is urgent, contact us to check the earliest available appointment.
Are Commissioners for Oaths appointments available at weekends?
Premium Solicitors offers appointments seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays, subject to availability. Check our online booking system or contact the team to arrange a suitable appointment at our Wimbledon office.
What identification should I bring?
Bring valid photographic identification, such as your passport or driving licence. Check your appointment instructions and contact us beforehand if you do not have the requested documents.
Should I sign my affidavit or statutory declaration before attending?
No. Leave the document unsigned where it must be signed before the Commissioner for Oaths. Bring the complete document, including its exhibits and attachments, and follow the Commissioner’s instructions at your appointment.
Can I make a statutory declaration at Premium Solicitors?
Yes. Our Commissioners for Oaths in London can take a statutory declaration that is ready to be declared and signed. If you need help preparing its wording, request a drafting service when booking. Bring any prescribed form or instructions supplied by the receiving organisation.
Can I swear an affidavit at your London office?
Yes, subject to the document’s requirements and the necessary independence checks. Bring the completed, unsigned affidavit, its exhibits and the recipient’s instructions. Tell us before booking if the affidavit is intended for use outside England and Wales.
Can I affirm instead of taking a religious oath?
Yes. If you prefer not to take a religious oath, you can make a non-religious affirmation when swearing an affidavit. Tell the Commissioner for Oaths your preference. A statutory declaration uses its own declaration wording.
Can your solicitors certify copies of my documents?
Yes. Our solicitors can certify suitable copies as true copies of the original documents presented to us. Bring the originals and any certification instructions.
Common examples include passports, driving licences and bank statements. Check the receiving organisation’s requirements first, as it may specify who can certify the document and the wording required.
Does a Commissioners for Oaths appointment include legal advice?
No. An appointment to administer an oath, take a declaration, certify copies or witness a signature does not include legal advice about the underlying matter.
Can the solicitor handling my case also administer my oath?
For an affidavit in proceedings, the person administering the oath must be independent of the parties and their representatives. If Premium Solicitors represents you in those proceedings, you will generally need an independent firm or another appropriately authorised person to administer the oath.
Can I attend my appointment by video call?
Premium Solicitors requires in-person attendance for Commissioners for Oaths appointments. Booking online does not mean your document can be sworn, declared or witnessed remotely. Bring your identification and the required documents to the office selected in your booking.
Do I need a Commissioner for Oaths or a notary public?
This depends on the receiving organisation’s requirements. A Commissioner for Oaths can administer oaths and take statutory declarations. A notary public provides a separate professional service often required for documents used abroad. Premium Solicitors are Commissioners for Oaths and not Notaries Public.
Before booking, check whether the recipient requires a solicitor, a notary public, an apostille or further legalisation.
Can you witness a signature on a power of attorney?
Please send us the document and the recipient’s instructions so that we can confirm whether we can provide the required service.
Witnessing a signature does not include advice on the power of attorney’s legal effect. If it will be used abroad, the recipient may require notarisation or legalisation.
Can you help with a visit visa sponsorship declaration?
Yes. Premium Solicitors can assist with visit visa sponsorship declarations, including declarations concerning accommodation or financial support.
Explain whether you need drafting assistance or already have a declaration ready to sign. Immigration advice and representation are separate services, and a sponsorship declaration does not guarantee a visa.
Do your Commissioners for Oaths countersign passport application forms?
No. Our Commissioners for Oaths do not countersign passport application forms.
This is different from certifying a suitable copy of a passport. If you need a certified passport copy, select the document certification service and check that the recipient will accept certification by a solicitor.
