Remote Witnessing

Virtual Online Witnessing Service

Book a session


What is this service?

A Justice of the Peace (JP) can witness certain legal documents for you online, using a video call. This service is free and is provided by the Royal Association of Justices of South Australia (RAJSA), a registered charity.

What documents can be witnessed?

Only these two types:

    • Statutory declarations
    • Affidavits

No other documents can be witnessed remotely at this time.

How to book

Click the booking button at the top of the page to choose an available time in the online calendar. You'll receive a confirmation email containing a Zoom meeting link, which will also appear in your calendar.

What you'll need

Before your appointment, make sure you have:

    • A computer or tablet with a camera and microphone
    • A scanner or printer to scan and email documents

Before your appointment

    • Fill in your document completely
    • Do not sign it yet
    • Have everything ready before the video call starts

What happens during and after the call

The entire process must be completed on the same day. Using a statutory declaration as an example:

You (on the video call):

    1. Sign and date the bottom of all pages except the last
    2. Sign and date the final page
    3. Read the declaration out loud when prompted by the JP
    4. Sign and date any attachments
    5. Email the signed document (and any attachments) to the JP

The JP then:

    1. Signs the document and any attachments
    2. Adds a note confirming it was witnessed via video call
    3. Emails the completed document back to you

Your document is then legally complete.
