A statutory declaration is a sworn, written statement used to prove a fact that you have knowledge of where there are no formal legal proceedings, such as a trial, where you could testify under oath. These declarations are used primarily in the UK and in British Commonwealth countries, such as Australia and New Zealand. Once you write your statutory declaration, you must sign it in front of an authorized witness. After your declaration is signed and witnessed, you may submit it to the organization that has requested it. [1] X Research source
