 Legal Notice (Effective July 2025)

Oaths.co.za is a secure, compliant digital platform that enables duly appointed Commissioners of Oaths to certify true copies of original South African documents, including Smart ID Cards, Driver’s Licences, Passports, and Proof of Address documents.

We do not perform affidavits, sworn statements, or declarations, in accordance with current legislation. 

Our services are grounded in the following South African legal instruments:

• Justices of the Peace and Commissioners of Oaths Act, 1963
• GN R1258 of 1972 (specifically Regulation 10 and Regulation 6)
• Electronic Communications and Transactions Act, 2002 (Sections 11–15 and 18)
   

Oaths.co.za adheres to a legally recognised substantial compliance model, validated by established case law and strengthened by secure technology infrastructure.

 
Each certification conducted through our platform is supported by:

• 🎥 Video or camera-based identity verification with biometric matching
• 🔏 2048-bit encrypted digital signatures (Adobe Pro Trusted)
• ⛓️ Blockchain-based hash and timestamping
• 📲 Unique QR codes for real-time public validation
• 🚨 AML compliance screening (PEP, PIP, and sanctions watchlists)
   

All certification actions are digitally logged, securely stored, and fully auditable—providing a level of traceability and tamper detection that exceeds traditional paper-based certification methods.
