Depositions
Because of the nature of depositions, unless you are a shorthand reporter certified by the Court Reporters Board of California, you cannot take a deposition. However, you may swear-in the deponent with an oath or affirmation before the deposition is taken. Business & Professions Code งง 8016 and 8017
A simple oath or affirmation for a deposition would be:
Do you swear or affirm that the testimony you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
The deponent should then answer with an audible Yes or I do.
You may also execute the jurat that goes with the typewritten or transcribed version of the deposition, which also requires an oath. This time, the deponent is swearing that everything in the typewritten or transcribed version of the deposition is true.
When administering an oath or affirmation, the person taking the oath must appear before you in person, you must verify the their identity with satisfactory proof of identity, and you must make a journal entry of the act, even if no other notarial act was performed. |
