Need a document witnessed? A document witnessing service is provided by a local Justice of the Peace (JP). JP’s can help with:

  • Attesting to the execution of a document
  • Witnessing a Statutory Declaration
  • Witnessing an affidavit for use in court
  • Certifying true copies of a document, and
  • Certifying a person’s identity

Please note: JPs at document signing stations may not be able to assist should you have a large amount of documents for witnessing or certifying. In these instances, you are encouraged to contact an individual JP to assist you. Read more here.
