Sign & Date: Remember to sign & date your oath (otherwise, it'll be void)
Simple Statement: You can use this simple statement to verify your oath:

“I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
Executed on this __ day of ________, 20__.""
Good News: Using a verified oath will save you a lot of time, and a lot of money.

VI. Additional Notes

28 USC §1746 is the federal equivalent to Florida's §92.525 FS
Vice Versa: Florida's §92.525 FS is the state equivalent to the United States' 28 USC §1746
The Self-Verified Oath (ie §92.525 FS; 28 USC §1746) is a gift from the legislature
- It's one of the few (along with indigency) items that the Legislative Branch has gifted the pro se litigant.
- The Executive Branch Honors it (eg, DOAH, the FCHR)
- The Judicial Branch Honors it (eg, 1DCA, 4th Judicial Circuit Court of Florida)
- Read TBD's article on how the Separate Branches of Government view your civil rights cause of action
