Find a Justice of the Peace

You can get documents such as statutory declarations and affidavits witnessed and certified by a Justice of the Peace (JP).

Other authorised witnesses, such as police, can also witness documents. 

Some JPs work from document signing stations in the community; others work privately.

To locate JPs in your area, search on the Department of Justice and Community Safety website, or phone 1300 365 567. 

Find other options for getting a document witnessed

JPs and police are not the only people who can witness or certify a document. A range of people, known as authorised witnesses, can also do so.
