What Is a Statutory Declaration?

A statutory declaration is a formal, written statement affirming that something is true to the best of your knowledge. It is a legally binding document and must be witnessed by a solicitor, lawyer, or commissioner for oaths to ensure its validity. Statutory declarations are commonly used for:

Given the legal weight of these declarations, it is crucial to seek independent legal advice to ensure accuracy and compliance with legal standards.
