About statutory declarations
A statutory declaration is a written statement you sign in front of an authorised witness.
By signing it, you agree that the information in it is true and correct. You can be charged with a criminal offence if the information is false.
Making a statutory declaration
The Department of Justice and Community Safety provides information about statutory declarations. They advise:
- how to make a statutory declaration
- who can witness your statutory declaration.
They also provide a statutory declaration form you can download and complete.
