What is an AU Statutory Declaration?
It’s a legal document where you declare information to be true. You sign it in front of an authorised witness, such as a Justice of the Peace, lawyer, police officer, or other approved person. It’s often used in place of sworn evidence in non-court situations.
Three main reasons:
You won’t need a statutory declaration if a simple signed statement will suffice or if the matter requires a sworn affidavit instead (such as for court proceedings). Always check the requesting authority’s requirements.
There’s no set deadline in law, but most organisations will require it before processing your application or claim. The sooner you provide it, the sooner your matter can be resolved.
Right here! ZenDocs has the official Commonwealth of Australia statutory declaration template ready to edit online - no need to search multiple government sites.
With ZenDocs, you can prepare the declaration digitally, then sign it in person with your authorised witness. If the requesting organisation accepts electronic witnessing (where allowed), you can use our eSignature tool to draw, type, upload, or capture your signature securely.
Send it to the organisation or agency requesting it. Do not send it to the Australian Government unless specifically instructed.
