Due to the large number of applicants that will be sworn in, there will be no individual oaths administered in Fulton County from
May 22, 2015- June 15, 2015. Should this present an inconvenience for you,
please contact another county within the State of Georgia to be sworn in. Please direct all questions to Nicholas F. Cotten at (404)-613-4217 or via email @
nicholas.cotten@fultoncountyga.gov, or the customer assistance desk at (404)-613-5313/5314.
Should you choose to not participate in the mass ceremony, you are responsible for scheduling your own individual ceremony and completing the necessary provisions needed to take an independent oath.
From this link,
http://www.fultoncourt.org/judges/superiorcourt.php, contact a Fulton County Superior Court Judge, schedule a time and date to be sworn in and email copies of your certificate of eligibility, driver's license and the specifics of your ceremony to
nicholas.cotten@fultoncountyga.gov at least 48 hours prior to your confirmed swearing in date (this is a mandatory time frame). On the day of your swearing in, please report to the Clerk's office at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled time with your original certificate and you will be escorted to the judge’s chambers.
If you reside out of state and wish to be sworn in by proxy, please scan and email a copy of your original certificate of eligibility and state issued I.D. to
nicholas.cotten@fultoncountyga.gov and indicate in the email that you wish to be sworn in by proxy. Also provide your phone number and out-of-state mailing address. Instructions will be forwarded to you (via email) on this process once your request is received. |
