What Is a Statutory Declaration?

A statutory declaration is a formal written statement in which an individual solemnly declares that certain facts are true. In England and Wales, the Statutory Declarations Act 1835 generally governs statutory declarations, although other legislation or procedures may require additional requirements.

A statutory declaration may be required when an individual needs to formally confirm facts for legal, administrative, regulatory, or official purposes.

Unlike an ordinary signed statement, a statutory declaration must be made before a person legally authorised to take it, such as a practising solicitor authorised to administer oaths or a Commissioner for Oaths.

The person making the declaration, known as the declarant, must understand its contents and declare that the information provided is true.

Knowingly making a false statutory declaration can have serious legal consequences, including potential criminal liability.

At Premium Solicitors, our London-based solicitors and Commissioners for Oaths can help you formally execute statutory declarations in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Below are frequently asked questions about our Statutory Declaration Service in London, including the legal requirements, witnessing procedures, fees, identification documents and appointment arrangements.

What is a statutory declaration in the UK?

A statutory declaration is a formal written statement in which an individual solemnly declares that certain facts are true. In England and Wales, statutory declarations are generally governed by the Statutory Declarations Act 1835 and must be made before a person authorised to administer them.

Statutory declarations are commonly used for legal, administrative, property, immigration, business and personal matters where formal confirmation of facts is required.

At Premium Solicitors, our Commissioners for Oaths in London can assist with preparing and administering statutory declarations.

Who can witness a statutory declaration in London?

A statutory declaration must be made before someone legally authorised to administer it. This generally includes:

• A practising solicitor authorised to administer oaths.
• A Commissioner for Oaths.
• A notary public.
• Certain other legally authorised persons.

The authorised person must satisfy the applicable independence requirements.

Premium Solicitors has practising solicitors and Commissioners for Oaths who can administer statutory declarations at our Wimbledon office.

Can any solicitor witness a statutory declaration?

A solicitor holding a current practising certificate and authorised to administer oaths can generally administer a statutory declaration, provided they are not acting in a matter where the relevant independence restrictions prevent them from doing so.

The solicitor is responsible for administering the declaration and ensuring that the necessary formalities are followed.

At Premium Solicitors, our solicitors provide statutory declaration witnessing services for a wide range of personal and business purposes.

Do I need a solicitor to make a statutory declaration?

You don't necessarily need a solicitor, but you must make your statutory declaration before a person legally authorised to administer it. Many people prefer a solicitor or Commissioner for Oaths because they provide a convenient, professional witnessing service.

At Premium Solicitors, you can book an appointment with one of our London-based Commissioners for Oaths.

What is the difference between a statutory declaration and an affidavit?

A statutory declaration is a solemn declaration confirming that specified facts are true. An affidavit is a written statement of facts sworn on oath or affirmed before an authorised person.

Statutory declarations are commonly used for administrative and legal purposes, whereas affidavits are frequently used as evidence in court proceedings and other formal legal processes.

Both require compliance with applicable legal formalities. Premium Solicitors provides witnessing services for statutory declarations and affidavits in London.

Is a statutory declaration legally binding in the UK?

Yes. A statutory declaration is a formal legal declaration. A person making one must understand its contents and believe the information to be true.

Knowingly and wilfully making a false statutory declaration may constitute a criminal offence and result in serious legal consequences.

However, a statutory declaration does not automatically establish the truth of the matters declared or oblige every organisation to accept it.

Can I write my own statutory declaration?

Yes. You can prepare your own statutory declaration, provided it complies with the relevant legal requirements and is suitable for its intended purpose.

It should contain an accurate statement of the facts, the appropriate declaration wording and provision for signing and attestation.

If you are unsure how to draft a statutory declaration, Premium Solicitors offers a separate drafting service.

What documents do I need for a statutory declaration appointment in London?

When you attend your appointment at Premium Solicitors, bring your statutory declaration, valid photographic identification (such as a passport or photocard driving licence), and any supporting documents required by the receiving authority.

If you have already prepared your statutory declaration, please do not sign it before your appointment.

Can I get a statutory declaration witnessed on the same day in London?

Yes. Premium Solicitors offers same-day statutory declaration appointments in London, subject to availability.

If you urgently need a statutory declaration witnessed for a court matter, property transaction, business requirement or other official purpose, you can book an appointment online with one of our Commissioners for Oaths in Wimbledon.

Can I get a statutory declaration witnessed on Saturday or Sunday in London?

Yes. Premium Solicitors offers statutory declaration witnessing appointments 7 days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays, subject to availability.

Our weekend appointment service is particularly convenient for clients who cannot attend a solicitor's office during normal working hours.

How long does it take to witness a statutory declaration?

If your statutory declaration is already prepared, witnessing is usually straightforward and can often be completed in a short appointment.

However, the time required depends on the complexity of the document, the number of declarants and whether additional formalities are required.

Can I get a statutory declaration witnessed online or through a video call?

Premium Solicitors currently requires clients to attend our office in person for statutory declaration witnessing appointments.

Although remote legal consultations are available for other services, our standard Commissioners for Oaths service requires personal attendance at our Wimbledon office.

Can I sign my statutory declaration before visiting a solicitor?

You should normally sign your statutory declaration in the presence of the solicitor or Commissioner for Oaths administering it.

If you have already signed the document, please inform us before your appointment so we can establish whether a fresh signature or other steps are required.

Can a solicitor refuse to witness a statutory declaration?

Yes. A solicitor may decline to administer a statutory declaration where the legal requirements are not satisfied, the declarant cannot properly confirm its contents, or a conflict of interest or other professional restriction applies.

A solicitor may also decline where the document is inappropriate for the service requested.

Can Premium Solicitors draft a statutory declaration for me?

Yes. Premium Solicitors offers statutory declaration drafting services in London.

If you require a declaration concerning your identity, change of name, marital status, business affairs or another matter, our solicitors can discuss the purpose and prepare an appropriate document, subject to the scope of our services and applicable independence requirements.

A separate fixed fee applies to drafting services.

Does the statutory declaration witnessing fee include legal advice?

No. Our standard statutory declaration witnessing appointment does not include substantive legal advice concerning the underlying matter.

If you require advice about your legal rights, the implications of signing the declaration or the transaction to which it relates, you should arrange a separate legal consultation with an appropriately qualified solicitor.

Can I make a statutory declaration for a change of name in London?

Yes. A statutory declaration may be used to confirm a change of name or explain discrepancies between different names appearing on official documents.

Premium Solicitors can assist with drafting or witnessing relevant declarations in London. However, you should first confirm that the organisation requesting proof of your name change will accept a statutory declaration rather than a deed poll or another document.

Can a solicitor witness a statutory declaration for marriage abroad?

Yes. A statutory declaration may be required to confirm that an individual is unmarried, divorced, widowed or otherwise legally free to marry.

Our Commissioners for Oaths in London can administer an appropriate declaration of marital status or freedom to marry.

You should first confirm whether the relevant overseas authority requires a statutory declaration, notarised document, certificate of no impediment or another form of evidence.

Can Premium Solicitors witness a statutory declaration for a commercial lease?

Yes. Our Commissioners for Oaths can administer statutory declarations in connection with certain commercial tenancy arrangements, including the contracting-out procedure under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954.

The statutory declaration procedure is particularly relevant where the parties wish to exclude security of tenure and the required warning notice has been served less than 14 days before the tenant becomes contractually bound.

Our witnessing appointment does not include independent legal advice on the terms or commercial implications of the lease.

Can I get a statutory declaration witnessed for a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN)?

Yes. Certain penalty charge enforcement procedures allow a statutory declaration where prescribed grounds exist.

Premium Solicitors can administer appropriate statutory declarations relating to penalty charge enforcement matters.

You must ensure that the declaration is completed on the correct form, accurately states the applicable grounds and is submitted to the relevant authority within any applicable deadline.

Can a statutory declaration be used for UK immigration or citizenship applications?

A statutory declaration may be relevant to certain UK immigration, nationality or citizenship applications where it is appropriate to provide formal confirmation of particular facts.

Examples may include declarations concerning identity, names, family circumstances or relationships.

However, the Home Office may require specific documentary evidence, and a statutory declaration cannot automatically replace mandatory supporting documents.

Can Premium Solicitors witness statutory declarations for companies and businesses?

Yes. Our Commissioners for Oaths in London assist directors, shareholders and business owners with statutory declarations required for various corporate and commercial purposes.

These may include declarations of solvency, corporate ownership information and other formal statements required under particular legal procedures.

Does a statutory declaration need to be notarised?

Not necessarily. For many purposes in England and Wales, a statutory declaration made before an authorised solicitor or Commissioner for Oaths is sufficient.

However, some organisations, particularly overseas authorities, may specifically require notarisation by a notary public.

You should check the receiving organisation's requirements before booking a statutory declaration appointment.

Can a statutory declaration witnessed in London be used abroad?

Yes, depending on the requirements of the country or organisation receiving it.

Some overseas authorities accept declarations witnessed by UK solicitors, while others require notarisation, an apostille or further legalisation.

The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) provides a legalisation service for eligible documents. 

Does a statutory declaration expire?

A statutory declaration does not ordinarily have a universal expiry date merely because it was made on a particular day.

However, the organisation requesting the declaration may require it to have been made within a specified period. Furthermore, a declaration concerning circumstances that have subsequently changed may no longer be suitable.

You should check the receiving authority's requirements before relying on an older statutory declaration.

What happens if I make a false statutory declaration?

Knowingly and wilfully making a false statutory declaration is a serious matter and can result in criminal liability.

Before signing, you should carefully read the declaration, confirm that you understand its contents and ensure that the factual statements are accurate.

If you are uncertain about the truth or implications of any statement, you should obtain appropriate advice before proceeding.
