Statutory declarationsMake a statutory declaration in Singapore, worded right, done right.
Need to declare a fact under oath — that two names are the same person, that you’re single, that a document was lost? We help you get the wording right, then declare it before our Commissioner for Oaths (for Singapore) or Notary Public (for overseas), with SAL apostille where needed. Because a statutory declaration is made under oath, getting it right matters.

A statutory declaration is a fact you swear is true
Under Singapore’s Oaths and Declarations Act, a statutory declaration is a formal written statement in which you solemnly declare that certain facts are true — used when an authority needs proof and no other evidence exists. You complete it, then sign and affirm it in person before a Commissioner for Oaths or Notary Public.
Here’s the part people underestimate: because you’re declaring under oath, a false declaration is a criminal offence in Singapore.
That’s exactly why the wording matters — and why we help you say precisely what’s true, no more and no less, before you sign.
Common statutory declarations in Singapore
If a government body, embassy, bank or court has asked you to “make a statutory declaration”, one of these is almost certainly why.
Name discrepancy
Declaring that two different names — across a passport, NRIC, birth certificate or foreign document — belong to the same person.
Single / marital status
A single-status or marital-status declaration, often required to marry overseas or to satisfy a foreign authority.
Lost or damaged documents
Declaring the loss of a passport, certificate or deed poll when applying for a replacement.
Change of name
Supporting a deed poll or name change, including for children, where a declaration of facts is needed.
Income & financial facts
Declaring income, financial standing or dependency for loans, applications or overseas matters.
Business & company
Directors’ declarations of solvency, authority, revenue or other corporate facts.
Court & legal matters
Declarations required in Singapore court proceedings or by statutory boards.
Immigration & overseas
Facts an embassy or foreign authority needs confirmed, notarised for use abroad.

Commissioner for Oaths or Notary Public in Singapore?
It comes down to one question: where will the declaration be used? Get it wrong and the receiving authority won’t accept it. We hold both appointments, so tell us the destination and we’ll do the right one.
🇸🇬 Used in Singapore → Commissioner for Oaths
- For local ministries, courts, banks and statutory boards.
- Simpler and lower cost — no SAL apostille needed.
- You sign and affirm before the Commissioner for Oaths.

Notarised & apostilled for UK authorities, universities and solicitors.
Australia
Common for name, marriage and property matters — worded to Australian requirements.

Any other country

We help you get the wording exactly right
Many places will simply administer whatever you put in front of them. But a statutory declaration only works if it says the right things, in the right form, for the authority receiving it — and since it’s made under oath, careless wording can cause a rejection or worse.
We do it properly:
- Ask what the receiving authority actually requires.
- Help you draft or review the wording in the correct form.
- Make sure you understand every line — in 200+ languages.
- Then administer the declaration and, for overseas, apostille it.
What to have ready
- Original photo ID — NRIC or passport.
- The facts you need to declare, and any supporting documents.
- The recipient’s instructions or their required form, if they gave one.
- Don’t pre-sign — you sign in front of the officer.

What makes a statutory declaration valid in Singapore
A declaration only does its job if it meets the Oaths and Declarations Act and the requirements of the authority receiving it. We make sure every box is ticked before you sign:
- Made in the correct form under the Oaths and Declarations Act.
- Signed and affirmed in person before the right officer.
- Identity verified with your NRIC or passport.
- Contents true, complete and understood by you.
- Correct officer — Commissioner for Oaths for Singapore, Notary Public for overseas.
- Apostilled by the SAL where the document is used abroad.
Why it’s worth getting right
Two things go wrong most often: a false or careless statement (a criminal offence in Singapore), and a declaration in the wrong form or before the wrong officer (rejected by the recipient). We protect you from both.
Send it to us first — we’ll make sure it’s valid, accepted, and true.

Declared before a properly appointed officer
Declarations done right, worries removed
Rated 4.9/5 by 180+ clients across Google and WhatsApp.
My passport and my Indian documents spelled my name differently and immigration wanted a declaration. They drafted the same-person wording perfectly, I signed it in ten minutes, and it was apostilled for use abroad. Took all the stress out of it.
Lost my deed poll and needed a declaration for property overseas. They knew exactly what to write and handled the apostille. Clear, fast and reassuring — you can tell they’ve done this many times.
Needed a directors’ declaration for an overseas transaction. They explained it clearly, made sure the wording matched what the other side wanted, and turned it around the same day.
Everything people ask before declaring
It’s a formal written statement, made under the Oaths and Declarations Act, in which you solemnly declare that certain facts are true. It’s used when an authority needs proof of a fact and no other evidence is available — for example that two names belong to the same person, or that you’re single. You sign and affirm it in person before a Commissioner for Oaths or Notary Public.
For a declaration used within Singapore, a Commissioner for Oaths. For one used overseas, a Notary Public — whose signature is then authenticated by the Singapore Academy of Law. We hold both appointments, so we can advise which you need and do either.
Making the declaration is a regulated fee from S$40. If it’s only for use in Singapore, that’s often the main cost. For overseas use, add a S$75 notarial certificate and the S$87.20 SAL apostille, so a notarised, apostilled declaration is typically from about S$202.20 all-in. We confirm your exact price before starting.
Yes — this is one of the most useful things we do. Tell us what you need to declare and who’s asking, and we’ll help draft or review the wording in the correct form so it says exactly what’s required. Because a declaration is made under oath, getting the wording right matters.
Yes. You must sign and affirm the declaration in the presence of the Commissioner for Oaths or Notary Public — so don’t sign it beforehand. The officer verifies your identity and administers the declaration. We can also come to you with a mobile visit.
Both are written statements affirmed before an authorised officer. A statutory declaration declares facts to be true for administrative or statutory purposes (dealing with government bodies, embassies or banks). An affidavit is a sworn statement of evidence used in court proceedings such as probate or divorce. Tell us who’s asking and we’ll confirm which you need.
Knowingly making a false statutory declaration is a criminal offence in Singapore, with serious penalties. That’s exactly why we help you word it carefully and make sure you understand every line — in your own language — before you sign, so you declare only what is true.
Very often, yes. When your name appears differently across documents — a passport versus a birth certificate, or between two nationalities — authorities frequently ask for a “same person” statutory declaration to confirm both names belong to you. We prepare these regularly and know exactly how they should be worded.
You can visit our Suntec City CBD office, or book a mobile visit so we come to your home or office anywhere in Singapore. WhatsApp us your declaration and location and we’ll arrange the quickest option.
Usually yes. Once the wording is settled, declaring it takes only a few minutes, and we can fast-track the SAL apostille for overseas use. Message us your deadline and we’ll tell you honestly what’s possible.
