California Notary License Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What phrase can be used when giving an oath to a witness?

Under official statement

Under penalty of perjury

Answer

When giving an oath to a witness, the phrase "Under penalty of perjury" can be used. This is because the other options are incorrect for the following reasons: A) An official statement is not necessarily a legally binding oath; C) Sworn testimony is the act of taking an oath and not the phrase used to do so; D) "Under the law" is a more general statement that does not necessarily convey the seriousness and legal consequences of giving false testimony, unlike "Under penalty of perjury." Therefore, option B is the most appropriate phrase to use when giving an oath to a witness.
