Caz Brady 168 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ilovemilkymoos 2,339 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. RGN (43) OH (47) 2 daughters (6 & 4):hug: AHPRA applied Sept.

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.

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.

no1spark 14 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.
