Statutory Declarations Burnaby
Significance of a Statutory Declaration
A Statutory Declaration exists to meet the needs of a statute, law or regulation. When you sign a Statutory Declaration the following words are critically placed in your document : “[that you] make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing it to be true and knowing that it is of the same force and effect as if made under oath.” In B.C, a judge, notary, justice of the peace, mayor or commissioner for taking affidavits may take your solemn declaration. You should not take the signing of a Statutory Declaration lightly even it is a routine part of your profession because you are binding your name to the document that you sign.
Identification required by the Notary
At your appointment, your legal representative will ask you for two pieces of valid government identification. You can bring a non-expired driving licence, Passport, Permanent Resident Card, or BC Services Card to the appointment. Please write your full legal name in the Statutory Declaration as shown on your identification. Sign the declaration after the Notary has finished asking you a set of questions to confirm that you understand what you are signing, the truth and the significance of it.
