§ 1362 Oath Administration Authority

• •You can take an oath (a serious promise) in front of someone who is allowed to make you take it.
• •This person could be a judge, a notary, or another official who has the power to administer oaths.
• •If the law doesn’t say who you should take the oath in front of, you can choose any authorized person.

You need to swear in court that you are telling the truth.

You can do this in front of a judge or another official who is allowed to make you take the oath. The law doesn’t specify who it has to be, so any authorized person will work.
