lindajyyu Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Hello all, I just have a quick question about the form 1195 identity declaration for citizenship application. This forms says that we need to have someone who is in one of the listed professions, and also know the applicant for 12 months. JP is also listed as one of the profession who can sign this form for us. Can I actually ask a JP to sign for this form even we don't know the JP for 12 months? Thank you and Happy new year..

Suzukiscottie Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 You can ask, but would likely be refused since they haven't known you for 12 months. I can't imagine that a JP would consider making a false declaration when the conditions are clearly stated on the form.

silencio Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Hi there, we nearly had the same dilemma about that. Do you have a tax agent who did your tax return who is a chartered accountant? Look under profession Nr. 24. Or do you have a GP? Or a dentist? In our case GP retired and dentist of 3 years disappeared but we once used a substitute GP who is able to sign it. It's worth to check your online medicare statements which doctors you've got attended to as can be easly forgotten (online for the last 3 years).

MaggieMay24 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 No, it must be someone in an approved occupation who has also known you 12 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindajyyu Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Thank you all. We checked with our dentist, but he is not a citizen. we now are waiting for our GP as she only works 2 days a week. Hopefully she can sign for us.

LKC Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Don't forget that if you have been for an eye test since you have been here and more than 12 months ago an optometrist can sign, or if you have children at school a teacher can sign. Just in case your GP can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bound4Tassie Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Vets can do it too ( if you have any pets you might know one!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindajyyu Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Thank you all again. We have no pet, and so Vets is not an option for us :arghh:, and our kid is only 3 yrs old, , so school teacher is not our option, either. In fact, this morning I checked with a nurse who works in our dentist clinic, and she can sign for us. Thanks to her :notworthy:.
