Statutory Declarations

A statutory declaration is a legal document governed by the Statutory  Declarations Act 1835. It is a formal written statement of fact made in  a prescribed manner affirming that something is true to the best of  knowledge of the declarant, ie; the person making the declaration. It  must also be signed in the presence of an authorised person, such as a  solicitor.

 Anybody who is able by law to administer an oath is allowed to administer a statutory declaration too (section 18, Statutory Declarations Act 1835).  It is therefore lawful for a commissioner for oaths, a solicitor with a  practising certificate, a justice of the peace or a notary, among  others, to administer a statutory declaration. 

Gatling Solicitors can administer your statutory declaration. 

The combined fee for an appointment and to administer a statutory declaration is £30 + VAT .
