Need a statutory declaration witnessed for use abroad, such as a single status declaration, a name change or a lost-document declaration? Our notary public witnesses it in our London office or by video call from £120, and we can add the FCDO apostille and any embassy legalisation in the same order.
Per document, witnessed in our London office or by video call.
Book an appointment WhatsApp usA statutory declaration is a written statement of facts that you formally declare to be true in front of an authorised witness. Making a false declaration is a criminal offence, which is why authorities in the UK and abroad accept it as evidence.
For use in the UK, a solicitor can usually witness it. For use abroad, foreign authorities generally want it witnessed by a notary public and then apostilled, because a notary’s signature is recognised internationally.
Confirms you’re unmarried, for marriage abroad or family visas. Often asked for alongside a Certificate of No Impediment.

Declares that an original has been lost when a replacement isn’t available.
Confirms who you are or where you live, for banks, property or registration abroad.
Confirms a family relationship where certificates are missing or names don’t match.
