About this post
Post Description:
Good Morning,
WHO DO I NEED TO WITNESS OR CERTIFY MY DOCUMENT?
I have been asked this question on many occasions. A witness certifies that they have identified a person and that person has made a solemn promise that the statements in a document are true to the best of their knowledge, this is referred to as taking an oath. The taking of an oath or a declaration of truth may be made in two forms in New South Wales they are:
a. by swearing, which is a declaration made by someone who believes in a higher power usually a member of religion; or
b. by affirmation should that person have no such belief.
In New South Wales oaths can be taken by JPs, legal practitioners (solicitors and barristers) and notary publics in accordance with the Oaths Act 1900 and certify that a copy of a document is a true and faithful copy.
Justices of the Peace
A Justice of the Peace (JP) is a volunteer, appointed by the governor of New South Wales whose primary role is to witness a person making a statutory declaration or an affidavit and to certify copies of original documents for use in Australia. JPs come from all sections of the community and available across New South Wales. JPs cannot charge for their service.
Legal Practitioners
A legal practitioner is able to witness legal documents, statutory declarations and affidavits and certify copies of documents for use in Australia. A legal practitioner must meet the educational requirements and be admitted to the Supreme Court of New South Wales to practice as a legal practitioner. Such documents as personal guarantees, enduring power of attorneys and enduring require a legal practitioner or notary public as a witness. Legal practitioners are able to charge for their services.
Notary Publics
A notary public in New South Wales is a legal practitioner who is held to full practising license for a minimum of five years. They have passed the educational requirements that allow them to be admitted by the Supreme Court of New South Wales as a notary public. Notary publics can witness all documents and certify copies of documents for use in and outside of Australia. The Public Notaries Act of 1997 includes a list of recommended fees.
As I am a notary public, if you or anyone you know is in a situation where witnessing or certifications are required and need further advice, please do not hesitate in contacting me.

早上好，
我需要谁来见证或证明我的文件？
我曾多次被问到这个问题。证人证明他们已经确认了一个人的身份，并且该人郑重承诺，据他们所知，文件中的陈述是真实的，这被称为宣誓。在新南威尔士州，宣誓或宣布真相可采用两种形式，即：
a. 通过宣誓，这是一种信仰更高权力的人所做的声明，通常是一种宗教的成员；或
b. 通过肯定，该人应该没有这种信仰。
在新南威尔士州，太平绅士，法律从业人员（律师和大律师）和公证人可以根据1900年宣誓法进行宣誓，并证明文件副本是真实可信的副本。
太平绅士
太平绅士（JP）是一名志愿者，由新南威尔士州州长任命，其主要职责是见证一个人作出法定声明或宣誓书，并认证在澳大利亚使用的文件是原始文件的副本。JP来自社区的各个部门，在新南威尔士州到处都有。JPs不能对他们的服务收费。
法律从业人员
法律从业人员能够见证法律文件、法定声明和宣誓书，并证明在澳大利亚使用的文件为原件的副本。法律从业人员必须符合教育要求，并获得新南威尔士州最高法院的执业许可。个人担保证书、持久授权书等文件需要有法律从业人员或公证人作为见证人。法律从业人员可以对他们的服务收费。
公证人
新南威尔士州的公证员是一名持有至少五年完整执业执照的法律从业人员。他们通过了教育要求，被新南威尔士州最高法院承认并允许他们为公证人。公证人可以见证所有文件，并证明在澳大利亚境内外使用的文件为原件的副本。1997年的《公证人推荐法》包括了一份推荐的公证费清单。
我是公证人，如果您或您认识的任何人处于需要见证或证明的情况，并需要进一步的建议的话，请随时与我联系。
此致，
蔡福荣（Jeffrey）
