Caz Brady Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Can anybody tell me can you just type up a statutory declaration on normal paper or does it have to be on legal? Does it have to follow a certain format or do you just write the list of things you want to say? Also can it be witnessed by a barrister? Thanks in advance x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovemilkymoos Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Hi Caz, Ours were done on ondinary paper, nothing fancy. Depends on the what your stat dec is for will decide what the wording will be. We had ours done for our defacto relationship, if you need standard wording let me know, i'll dig it out?

Just type it up yourself. If you google stat. declaration you'll find loads of example documents. Don't sign it. You need to declare and sign it in front of your notary public or whoever you are getting to certify your documents. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, if you don't mind me asking, at what point during the skills assessment will you use the stat dec? Just trying to get my head around it.

Chardy Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I did 5 stat decs for my TRA skills assessment, one for my current employment and 4 for previous employers that I cannot contact for various reasons (described in the stat dec). They got sent with my application to TRA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks :biggrin: Hiya no worries After you've got AQF III you will have to get recognition from TRA and because Des is self-employed he has to do 1 as a personal statement.

The children don't seem to want to listen!:biggrin: Wasn't too bad for me but the job descriptions often felt like I was describing them to my 2 year old. You can never have too much detail and plain paper is fine. I'll see if I can PM you one of my stat decs to help. Hope the wedding goes OK too.........my missus would love to know what the cake is like cos that's what she does !:wink: Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doing a geographical Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I did 5 stat decs for my TRA skills assessment, one for my current employment and 4 for previous employers that I cannot contact for various reasons (described in the stat dec). They got sent with my application to TRA. Hi Chardy. Did you do "a detailed half page description/overview of business, and the products and services offered by the business" in your stat decs??? Or did you just leave it out? Thats a requirement of the employer statement, but I think I have to be very careful what I claim in a stat dec. Thanks!:biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no1spark Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 you can do a stat dec on ordinary A4 paper, however then documents must be signed by a magistrate or a police officer or school principal & make sure they are all dated with signatures also make photo-copies, once the documents are dated they become a "Legal" document.
