What is a requirement of the oath for a credible witness regarding the signer?

The witness must be a public servant
The witness must provide a copies of their ID
The signer does not have ID and cannot obtain one
Witness must be related to the signer

The correct answer is: The signer does not have ID and cannot obtain one

The correct requirement for the oath concerning a credible witness is that the signer does not have ID and cannot obtain one. This context is crucial because, in situations where a signer is unable to provide identification, having a credible witness who can vouch for their identity becomes essential. The witness must be able to affirm that they personally know the signer and can attest to their identity, which is a critical part of the notarization process when standard forms of ID are unavailable. The other options do not align with the core requirement of the oath. For example, a credible witness does not need to be a public servant, nor is there a stipulation for them to provide copies of their ID. Additionally, the witness's relationship to the signer is not a requirement; they simply need to be a credible, unbiased individual who can verify the identity of the signer.
