What is a Statutory Declaration?

A statutory declaration is a written statement made by a person in the presence of an authorised witness, declaring that certain facts are true. Statutory declarations are often used for matters such as:

  • Confirming your identity or residency
  • Declaring a change in circumstances (e.g., name change or marital status)
  • Assisting with immigration or legal matters
  • Confirming the validity of certain documents

It is a legally recognised declaration, commonly used in legal, financial, and administrative matters, and requires the signature of an authorised witness, such as a notary public or legal professional.

What is an Affidavit?

An affidavit is a sworn statement of facts, typically used in court proceedings or legal matters. An affidavit is similar to a statutory declaration, but it is usually more formal and often involves an oath or affirmation before an authorised person, such as a solicitor, to verify the truthfulness of the statement.

Common uses of affidavits include:

  • Supporting legal claims or defence in court cases
  • Confirming details for a will or probate
  • Swearing evidence for a family law case
  • Affirming statements related to business or personal disputes
