The Department of Home Affairs released a statutory declaration form used in Australian citizenship and visa processing. The form requires declarants to confirm they have no criminal convictions, pending charges, domestic violence orders, or involvement in specified offences. It warns that false statements carry penalties under the Statutory Declarations Act 1959 (up to 4 years imprisonment) and the Australian Citizenship Act 2007 (up to 12 months imprisonment for false citizenship representations). The form specifies that declarations must be witnessed by authorised persons listed in Schedule 2 of the Statutory Declaration Regulations 2018. The document sets out eight key declaration statements covering criminal history, pending legal matters, family violence orders, mental fitness findings, sexual offences involving children, and spent convictions across all jurisdictions.
