Where no competent judicial or administrative authority in either the Member State of which the concerned person is a national or in the home Member State issues an equivalent document as referred to in paragraph 3, that person shall be allowed to produce in its place a declaration on oath. However, in home Member States where there is no provision for declarations on oath to be made the nationals of other Member States concerned shall be allowed to produce a solemn declaration made by him or her before a competent judicial or administrative authority in the home Member State or the Member State of which they are a national or before a notary in one of those Member States. Such authority or notary shall issue a certificate attesting the authenticity of the declaration on oath or solemn declaration.
