The role of a JP
The role of the JP is to act as an independent and objective witness to documents people use for official or legal purposes. For example, a JP may:
-
attest the execution of a document
-
witness an affidavit for use in court
-
witness a statutory declaration
-
certify a true copy of an original document
-
certify a person’s identity.
Statutory declarations
A statutory declaration is a written statement that you sign and declare to be true before an authorised witness. A JP can act as authorised witness to the signing of a statutory declaration.
Statutory declarations are commonly used to legally verify names, addresses, insurance claims, superannuation matters, lost passports and as evidence to support sick leave.
You can find a range of statutory declarations by searching the sa.gov.au website.
