You can usually get a statutory declaration (stat dec) form online from the relevant government website for your country or state, or in person from many post offices, courts, or legal offices. The exact form depends on whether you need a Commonwealth form or a state/territory one (if you’re in Australia) or a country‑specific version.

Main places to get a stat dec form

  • Official government website :
    • In Australia, there are specific Commonwealth statutory declaration forms you can download directly as PDFs or Word documents from the federal Attorney‑General or related government sites.
* State services (like NSW’s service portal) also provide their own statutory declaration templates in PDF and editable formats.
  • Digital stat dec via online services :
    • Some government platforms now let you create a digital statutory declaration, complete it online, and download a signed PDF once your identity is verified, which removes the need for an in‑person witness for certain Commonwealth declarations.

Offline options

  • Many post offices , courts , and solicitors/notaries keep blank statutory declaration forms you can fill out by hand.
  • A lawyer or notary can also provide the correct template and guide you on the wording if your situation is complex or unusual.

Quick tips before you use a form

  • Make sure the form matches:
    • The jurisdiction (e.g., Commonwealth vs a specific state).
    • The purpose (some agencies require their own exact template).
  • Check instructions on:
    • Required wording ,
    • Whether you need an authorised witness or can use a digital option, and
    • Any ID requirements when you sign.
