Notarizing Statutory Declarations

At RG Notary & Legal Services in Brampton, we offer professional notarization services for statutory declarations, providing you with the assistance you need to ensure that your legal documents are properly executed. A statutory declaration is a written statement of facts that the person making it swears to be true before a notary public. This process is often required in various legal, business, and personal matters where a formal declaration of truth is necessary.

What is a Statutory Declaration?

A statutory declaration is a legal document used to affirm the truth of statements made by an individual. Unlike an affidavit, which is sworn in court, a statutory declaration is usually used in non-judicial matters, such as confirming information for government forms, applications, or specific legal procedures. These declarations are commonly used in areas such as:

• Real estate transactions
• Immigration applications
• Business or corporate filings
• Estate and financial matters
• Personal or family matters

Statutory declarations carry the same weight of legal obligation as sworn affidavits, and making a false declaration can result in penalties under the law.

Why You Need Notarization for Your Statutory Declaration

In order to be valid, a statutory declaration must be signed in the presence of a qualified notary public. The notary’s role is to verify the identity of the person making the declaration, ensure that they understand the contents of the declaration, and witness their signature. This process helps ensure the document is authentic and legally binding.
