    I find that a couple of cans of coke, go a long way to get them to sign every page. I usually comment how hard they are working, and that I know they must have built up a thirst, and hence the reason for offering some cool coke.

    I also want to add my thanks for the template. Got to this thread via a web search.

    If I'm not mistaken, swearing an oath implies the invocation of a deity ("So help me God" or some such wording). Some people have a conscientious objection to this, including: atheists who don't believe in any deity, some religions where oath-swearing is expressedly discouraged, and others subscribing to the liberal principle of "separation of church and state".

    Taking this into account, some follow-up questions: Is there any alternative method for such people to still satisfy the legal requirements, but to not take OATHS in the process? What would the correct term be? Would the wording of the template change? Would such an alternative have any less favorable bearing on the outcome IN PRACTICE?

    I guess I need to go read the act myself .....

    Yes - there is a legal alternative. Delete "swear" and "prescribed oath".
    The answer to no 2 would be "yes" and the commissioner of oaths would delete the words "sworn to" in his/her declaration at the end.
