When you need to make an affidavit for a court case, you can swear or affirm it in front of certain people. You can do this in front of a judicial officer or a Registrar. You can also do it in front of a lawyer who is not involved in your case.
The rules about who can take an affidavit are similar to rules in the past, such as in the 1986 legislation. You can find more information about this by looking at the old laws. This helps you understand how the rules have changed over time.
