Which statement about signing in the presence of the oath administrator is true?

• A. The signer may sign remotely.
• B. The signer must sign in front of the oath administrator.
• C. The oath administrator's signature is optional.
• D. The signer must sign in front of the court clerk.

Answer: (B)

Signing must occur in the presence of the person who administers the oath. The oath administrator witnesses the signing, verifies the signer’s identity, and confirms that the oath is understood and willingly taken. This in-person witnessing ensures the oath is properly attested and valid. Remote signing isn’t appropriate in this context, and the oath administrator’s signature is not optional—it serves as the certification that the oath was administered correctly. The signer doesn’t need to appear before a court clerk, since the required witness is the oath administrator. So, the statement that the signer must sign in front of the oath administrator is the true one.
