A Statutory Declaration is a formal legal document widely used in Malaysian jurisdiction where a person (declarant) makes a written statement of facts and solemnly declares it to be true before an authorized Commissioner for Oaths. The document is governed by the Statutory Declarations Act 1960 and carries serious legal implications if found to contain false information. Statutory Declarations are commonly required for various purposes including visa applications, property transactions, insurance claims, corporate compliance, academic submissions, and government administrative procedures. They serve as a cost-effective alternative to affidavits and are accepted by most Malaysian authorities as official proof of declared facts. The document must be properly executed before a Commissioner for Oaths and may require supporting documents as annexures.
