Before we go deep into what documents need to be sworn, we must understand what a Commissioner For Oaths is. The Commissioner of Oaths is an officer appointed by the Malaysia Chief Justice under Section 11, the Court of Judicature Act 1964 and the Commissioner for Oaths Rules 2018 in verifying the authenticity of the document and the identity of the deponent who made a confession on the document.
Therefore, the Commissioner For Oaths has a great responsibility in verifying the documents, and if the oath-taker makes deceitful or false statements on the affidavit or documents, he will have to bear certain legal responsibilities in the future.
And after understanding the power of the Commissioner of Oaths, let’s see what is the Immigration Department of Malaysia’s document that the commissioner of oaths can swear by?
