About this Statutory declaration
A statutory declaration is a written statement that a person signs and declares to be true and correct before an authorised witness. By signing it, you agree that the information in it is true, and you can be charged with perjury if the information is false. They are useful in many situations and have the same effect at law as your making a statement under oath in court.
By definition, a statutory declaration tells a unique story. There can thus be no template which provides the precise story applicable to your own situation.
Authorised witnesses differ from state to state, however, a Justice of the Peace is a common authorised person in all states, therefore if you don’t know who to ask, find a JP.
While the form is somewhat self explanatory, the Net Lawman explanatory notes and guidance explain all you will need to know.
We have different states versions of this form please select your jurisdiction before making purchase so that you should have the applicable version to your state.

Thank you. The form was easy to use thank you for supplying the form. I am not too computer savvy but found it easy to us.
Contracts use simple English language, are jurisdictionally unique & capture the substance of the agreement with our customer. We feel safe in our dealings. Question is will it stand up to challenge? I believe so but we haven't had to enforce our NL contracts to date. So yet to be determined but very confident that for a small business dealing with small business it'll keep us in good stead if we have to test it.
NL documents give us confidence & pride in our presentation to customers. They look & read professionally, they set down clearly the intention of the parties, the price is very reasonable. We could not afford to pay $5k to a legal firm to draft a contract for us & would have had to continue to rely on exchange of letters/emails as the basis of our contracts.
I would recommend Net Lawman to others because of the ease, convenience, price, professionalism & confidence.
