A Statutory Declaration is a legal statement that records your intention to use a new name. All Statutory Declarations must be signed by you in your new name and witnessed either by a solicitor (other than the one who prepared the statutory declaration) or a Justice of the Peace (JP). Solicitors charge for drawing up and witnessing statutory declarations as well as for signing them which makes this method a more costly way of changing your name than a Deed Poll.
