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.
