Provide language interpretation for a statutory declaration

If you provide language interpretation to a person making a statutory declaration you need to complete an additional statutory declaration. This will confirm:

• the language translated to English
• that you interpreted
  • the contents of the documents
  • what the Justice of the Peace said to the declarant
  • what the declarant said to the Justice of the Peace.

If you're an accredited interpreter, you should also declare:

• your qualifications
• that you do not have a personal relationship with the declarant
• that you will not receive financial or other benefit from the matters in the declarant’s statutory declaration other than payment for professional interpretation.

Suggested wording for a statutory declaration by an interpreter is available in either PDF form or as an editable Word document (DOC). Download and print the document you need.
