Who can complete a Statutory Declaration as evidence of meeting the CAO?
Only applicants from one of the ‘specified countries’ can complete a statutory declaration as evidence of meeting the English language standards as outlined in CAO 40.0. Applicants intending to make a statutory declaration are reminded again that it is a crime to intentionally make a false statement as a statutory declaration which is considered as perjury, and is punishable by fines and/or a prison sentence. The statutory declaration must be made in a prescribed form and witnessed by a person as specified in the Statutory Declarations Regulations (1993), which include legal and medical practitioners, Justices of the Peace, notary public officers, and police officers.
