The Statutory Declarations Act 1835 is the law that governs the process for making a statutory declaration.

Under section 5 of the Perjury Act 1911, if you knowingly and wilfully make a statutory declaration that is false in a material particular, then you are guilty of an offence, and liable on conviction to a term of imprisonment for up to 2 years, or to a fine, or both.



Can I write my own statutory declaration?

You can write your declaration or you may want to pay a Solicitor to create your declaration for you to make sure it meets The Statutory Declarations Act 1835.
