A Commissioner for Oaths in Alberta is an individual authorized to administer oaths, affirmations, and statutory declarations within the province. This designation is typically granted to individuals who need this authority as part of their work, such as lawyers, paralegals, government employees, and some professionals in private businesses. Commissioners of Oaths do not certify the truthfulness of the contents of a document but simply verify that the person signing the document swears or affirms that the information provided is accurate to the best of their knowledge.

In Alberta, a Commissioner for Oaths can only perform their duties within the province, and they are empowered to witness signatures on various documents, including affidavits, statutory declarations, and legal forms. However, it is important to note that a Commissioner of Oaths is different from a Notary Public, who has additional powers, such as the ability to certify copies of documents and authenticate international documents. The appointment of Commissioners of Oaths can be permanent for certain professions, or temporary for individuals who apply for the designation and demonstrate a need for it in their job roles.
