Sworn declaration for a professional order: how does it work?

Québec's professional orders — whether for nurses, pharmacists, accountants, or any other order governed by the Professional Code — sometimes require a declaration under oath as part of admission, annual registration, or a disciplinary process.

Each professional order has its own forms and requirements — this article covers the general principle; always refer to the specific form provided by your order.

In what situations is it requested?

  • an application for admission to a professional order;
  • an annual declaration attesting to compliance with ethical obligations;
  • recognition of equivalent training or experience;
  • a disciplinary process or investigation before the order.

What should the declaration contain?

  • the declarant's full identity and member number, if applicable;
  • the specific facts required by the order's form;
  • any required supporting documents;
  • a statement of truthfulness.

Does it need to be sworn?

This depends on the professional order and the type of process. Always check the exact requirements stated by your order before having your declaration sworn.

Can it be sworn online?

Yes, when the document and situation are eligible for remote oath commissioning, by videoconference.
