For simple matters please visit the electorate office Mondays and Wednesdays 10 am - 3 pm. Simple matters include:

- Certifying copies of small numbers of documents (you must bring the original documents with you for comparison with the copy)
- Witnessing simple statutory declarations (you must bring ID with you)

For complex or lengthy matters please call the office first, as it is best to organise an appointment to ensure they can deal with your matter without interruption. Complex matters include:

- Affidavits
- Statutory declarations that have any attachments or annexures
- Statutory declarations that are incorporated into a larger form
- Certifying copies of large numbers of documents (more than 10 pages)
- Certifying physical copies of documents where the original is electronic (including bank statements, utility bills, degree testamurs and degree transcripts)

Please note that Justices of the Peace are entitled to refuse to witness or certify documents based on their own judgement, and there may occasionally be situations where they are unable to assist you. If this occurs, they will refer you to alternative options.

Also, NSW Justices of the Peace are unfortunately unable to sign ‘Proof of Life’ forms for foreign government pension payments. If you need a foreign ‘Proof of Life’ form signed, please contact the consulate or embassy of the country concerned.
