What is a Justice of the Peace?
A Justice of the Peace (JP) is an objective witness for legal documents.
A JP can assist you by:
- verifying a document's actions are carried out
- witnessing a statutory declaration
- witnessing an affidavit for court
- checking true copies of an original document
- verifying a person's identity.
Before you arrange a time
- Ensure that a Victorian JP is required to witness your documents.
- Advise the JP early if you have a large number of documents.
- Have all your paperwork ready.
- Be mindful that JPs do not provide legal advice.
- Note that JPs are not Notary Publics.
