Statutory Declaration Witnessing and its Advantages

 

A statutory declaration is a formal written declaration made in relation to any subject where one must be made in front of a qualified witness. The Statutory Declarations can only be used inside of the nation. If you want to make a state or territory statutory declaration, please check the procedures for making and using declarations with the appropriate state or territory as they are made under the laws of each state or territory. Please complete the statutory declaration but do not sign it and bring it to the Consulate-General so that a representative can certify that you signed it.



You must physically show identification, such as a valid Australian or international passport. As an alternative, any valid government-issued identification or from another country that displays your full name, photo, and signature is recognized, such as a current driver's license.

You can download the Statutory Declaration Witnessing form from the Attorney General's Department site. A written declaration known as an affidavit enables its author to present evidence in court or during other legal proceedings. The individual has the choice of confirming or making a nonreligious declaration or swearing that the data in their affidavit is accurate. Swearing or affirming false information is generally forbidden.

The administering of the oath or affirmation and the witnessing of the affidavit are the duties of the consulate. It does not attest to the accuracy or reliability of the information or supporting documentation. Before visiting the Consulate-General, confirm the following details with the receiver or a legal representative: Is it required for you to initial or sign each page with the witness present? Or only one sheet needs to be signed, is that it?

What affidavit exhibits do you have?

Bring your complete affidavit with all supporting paperwork, detailed instructions, and a current passport.
