JP services

Justices of the Peace

Please remember that JPs are providing a free service and they generously volunteer their time.

JPs in New South Wales are able to:

• Witness the signing of a statutory declaration.
• Witness the signing of an affidavit.
• Certify that a copy of an original document is a true copy.

Conditions:

• Bookings are essential and open 24 hours before the scheduled day.
• Visitors will be asked to provide a booking confirmation before seeing the JP.
• Please note bookings are for one person only at any one time. Carer’s or co-signers will be permitted.
• Please ensure you have your original documents, number of copies required, identification, completed forms and your own pen on arrival.
• There is a 10 minute limit per person. The JP will sign additional documents if time permits or you may be asked to re-join the line.
• A photocopying service is not available at the Customer Service Centre. Please organise your copies before arrival.
• Please note that this service cannot be guaranteed at all times as it is dependent on the availability of JP staff. We advise you phone first to check that staff with JP credentials will be available on the day.

JPs are volunteers and may not always be available.
