A Declaration is a fundamental legal document widely used in South African legal and business practice. This document type is essential when individuals or organizations need to formally affirm facts, intentions, or circumstances under oath. Declarations are commonly required for various purposes, including legal proceedings, administrative applications, business transactions, and regulatory compliance. The document must be executed in accordance with South African law, particularly the Justices of the Peace and Commissioners of Oaths Act, which requires certification by a Commissioner of Oaths. Declarations can contain various types of information, from personal statements to business facts, and carry serious legal implications if found to contain false information.
