What Is a Statutory Declaration in Singapore?

A statutory declaration is a written statement of fact that you solemnly declare to be true, under the Oaths and Declarations Act 2000. Consequently, it carries legal weight even though no oath on a religious book is taken. Furthermore, the declaration must follow the form set out in the First Schedule to that Act, which is why our Singapore Statutory Declaration Form follows that wording. Above all, a false declaration is a criminal offence, so read every line before you sign.

Is this Singapore Statutory Declaration Form really free?

Yes. We provide the generator free of charge, subject to the terms stated in the form. However, the attendance before a Commissioner for Oaths or a Notary Public attracts the prescribed statutory fee. Therefore, budget for that fee separately.

Can I sign the statutory declaration before I attend?

No. The officer must watch you sign, so please leave the signature blank. Otherwise, we cannot administer the declaration and you will need to reprint the document. Above all, arrive with the declaration complete but unsigned.

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

An affidavit supports court proceedings, whereas a statutory declaration usually goes to a government agency, a bank, an employer or an overseas authority. Nevertheless, both require you to appear before an authorised officer. Accordingly, tell us the purpose and we will confirm which document you need.

Can I use a statutory declaration to explain a name discrepancy?

Yes, and that is one of the most common uses in Singapore. For instance, clients declare that a name on a foreign birth certificate and the name on an NRIC belong to the same person. Similarly, our lost deed poll service helps where the original deed poll cannot be traced.

Will a Singapore statutory declaration be accepted overseas?

Usually, provided a Notary Public witnesses it and the Singapore Academy of Law issues an Apostille. However, some countries also require consular legalisation. Therefore, please ask the receiving authority what it needs before your appointment.

Can a company make a statutory declaration?

Yes. A director, secretary or other authorised signatory declares on the company’s behalf, and our form has a company option. In addition, please bring the ACRA business profile and the board resolution authorising you to sign.

Where do I attend to make my statutory declaration?

Please come to 135 Middle Road #05-11, Bylands Building, Singapore 188975, near Bugis. We open Monday to Friday from 9.00am to 6.00pm, and we close between 1.00pm and 2.15pm. To reserve a slot, call +65 6338 1810, because we see clients by appointment only.

Woman reviewing her unsigned statutory declaration draft before arranging an appointment

AFTER YOU RECEIVE THE DRAFT

Read every statement.
Leave it unsigned.

A Statutory Declaration is a formal written statement of facts that you declare to be true. In Singapore, its prescribed form appears in the First Schedule of the Oaths and Declarations Act 2000.

Check names, dates, references and each factual statement.
Confirm that the draft meets the recipient’s requirements.
Prepare the documents referred to as exhibits, where applicable.
Do not sign before attending the appropriate officer.

If the wording is complex or you are unsure of its effect, ask us about legal drafting or review. Separate fees apply.

Where to sign your declaration

For use in Singapore

Arrange an appointment with a Commissioner for Oaths. Bring your completed, unsigned declaration, original identification and any exhibits. Read our Commissioner for Oaths fee guide before booking.

For use overseas

Check the receiving authority’s requirements first. You may need a Notary Public and further authentication. Acceptance depends on the destination and purpose. See our notarial fee guide.

Common purposes for a Statutory Declaration

The form includes scenarios for name discrepancies, lost documents, marital status and residential address. Other declarations may concern evidence of trade mark use, a lost property title deed or solvency when making a property gift. These matters can require specific wording or supporting documents.

For name issues, see our sample Statutory Declarations for name issues. If you need a copy of a deed poll prepared by our firm, use the lost deed poll copy service. A declaration about a lost deed poll does not recreate the original document.

Statutory Declaration form FAQs

Is this Statutory Declaration form free?

Yes. The automated Word draft is free, subject to the terms in the form. Legal advice, drafting or review, commissioning and notarisation are separate services and may attract fees.

Does submitting the online form complete my declaration?

No. Submission generates a draft. You must check it and complete the required declaration and signing procedure before the appropriate officer. Do not sign it in advance.

Can I edit the Word document?

Yes. Correct any errors and tailor the draft to the recipient’s requirements. If you are unsure of the wording or consequences, seek legal advice before signing.

Can I use it for a company?

The form has a Company option. The individual making the declaration must have the necessary knowledge and authority. Check what company records or evidence of authority the recipient and officer require.

Is a Statutory Declaration the same as an affidavit?

No. An affidavit is commonly used as evidence in court proceedings. A Statutory Declaration serves a different prescribed purpose. Ask the recipient which document it requires before choosing a template.

Will the declaration be accepted overseas?

Do not assume so. Confirm the required wording, authorised witness and authentication with the overseas recipient before preparing the document or booking an appointment.

What if the draft email does not arrive?
