On the back of the stat declaration example it lists the people that can witness it. Be careful, this is a list of professions in Australia that can witness your statutory declaration. If the person you want to witness yours is not registered in AUS or NZ then you need to use a solicitor or a commissioner of oaths (or your equivalent of not in the UK) Good news for UK people is that all solicitors will do this and by law can only charge £5 per document witnessed (whereas commissioner of oaths is many times more) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulhand Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 The Department’s view on this is: “If you are not an Australian citizen or permanent resident and you reside outside Australia, your statement cannot be considered a statutory declaration under Australian law, even if it is made using the template provided by the Attorney-General’s Department. However, under policy, your statement should be witnessed or certified according to the legal practices of the country in which you make the statement. Failing that, it should be witnessed by a person whose occupation or qualification is comparable to those listed above. This person should sign, date and specify their occupation at the bottom of the statement.” if you are using a UK based RMA they are able to witness an Australia stat dec.

wrussell Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 To accomplish what you have in mind (re self employment) you need more than a statutory declaration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
