James Immigration Solutions Ltd provides professional Statutory Declaration services through a Commissioner for Oaths for individuals and businesses requiring a formal declaration to be administered and witnessed.
A statutory declaration is a formal written statement in which a person declares that the information contained in a document is true. It may be required by government departments, organisations, financial institutions, employers, educational institutions or other authorities where formal confirmation of facts is needed.
Our Commissioner for Oaths service provides a professional, confidential and straightforward process for completing your statutory declaration correctly and having your signature formally witnessed.
A statutory declaration is a formal statement made by an individual confirming that certain information is true to the best of their knowledge and belief.
The person making the declaration is known as the declarant.
The declarant normally signs the declaration in the presence of an authorised person, such as a Commissioner for Oaths, who administers the declaration and witnesses the signature.
Statutory declarations can be required where there is no other documentary evidence available or where an organisation requires information to be formally declared.
Statutory declarations may be used for many different legal and administrative purposes, including:
Whether a statutory declaration is suitable will depend on the requirements of the organisation requesting the document.
Our Commissioner for Oaths can formally administer your statutory declaration and witness you signing the document.
The role of the Commissioner for Oaths is to ensure that the declaration is made formally by the person making it and that the required procedure for administering the declaration is followed.
Once the declaration has been properly made, the Commissioner can sign and endorse the document in their professional capacity.
To avoid unnecessary delays, you should normally bring:
Bring the document that needs to be declared.
If an organisation, solicitor, government department, employer or other authority has provided you with a specific statutory declaration form, you should bring that exact document.
You may be asked to provide suitable photographic identification, such as:
If your declaration refers to supporting documents or exhibits, bring the original documents with you where possible.
If the organisation receiving the declaration has provided particular signing, witnessing, certification or wording requirements, please bring those instructions with you.
Where your signature is required to be witnessed by a Commissioner for Oaths, do not sign the statutory declaration in advance.
You should normally sign the declaration in the presence of the Commissioner for Oaths.
This allows the Commissioner to witness the execution of the document properly.

We can also assist company directors, business owners and authorised representatives who require statutory declarations or formally witnessed documents in connection with business or administrative matters.
This may include declarations relating to:
The precise form of declaration required will depend on the purpose for which the document is being submitted.
Some documents intended for use outside the United Kingdom may require additional formalities.
Depending upon the destination country and the receiving organisation, a document may require a Notary Public, apostille, legalisation or another form of authentication rather than, or in addition to, a Commissioner for Oaths.
You should check the requirements of the authority receiving the document before arranging your appointment.

A Commissioner for Oaths witnesses or administers the declaration in accordance with the relevant formal requirements.
The Commissioner does not automatically verify the truth of every factual statement contained within the declaration. The person making the declaration remains responsible for the accuracy and truthfulness of the information they declare.
Making a false statutory declaration can have serious legal consequences.
If you require advice about the legal effect, wording or suitability of a declaration for a particular matter, you should ensure that the appropriate legal or regulated advice is obtained.
Both involve formally confirming information, but they may be required for different legal or administrative purposes. The organisation or authority requesting the document should normally specify which form is required.
Yes, where legally appropriate, a Commissioner for Oaths can administer and witness a statutory declaration.
Normally, no. If your signature must be witnessed, you should sign it in the presence of the Commissioner for Oaths.
You should normally bring valid photographic identification such as a passport or driving licence. Additional identification may be requested depending on the document and circumstances.
This depends on the requirements of the receiving authority. Some overseas documents require notarisation, an apostille or legalisation rather than Commissioner for Oaths witnessing. Always check the receiving authority’s requirements.
