Commonwealth Statutory Declarations can now be made online without the need for a person to witness them.
This is potentially very useful for preparing partner visa applications.
You can now create and download a digital Commonwealth statutory declaration in English using the myGov website or the myGov app.
Digital ID is used to verify your identity and ensure your declaration is legally binding.
This means you don’t need a person to witness your statutory declaration.
This is the link to access this free of charge service:
