About My Declaration

My Declaration is a plain-language guide to personal declarations, affidavits and written statements of fact.

Declarations Explained

My Declaration exists for people who have never written a formal statement and suddenly need to. The task sounds official, the terms vary from place to place, and the stakes can feel high.

What we offer

  • Clear definitions of the common document types
  • Practical writing guidance that works in most settings
  • Notes on signing, witnesses and corrections
  • Honest pointers on when to ask a professional

Our approach

We explain rather than instruct. Legal systems differ, so we focus on principles that hold widely: tell the truth, keep to facts, organise them well, and follow the recipient’s rules.

What we don’t do

We do not draft documents for specific cases or give legal advice. If your statement is part of a serious legal matter, a qualified adviser in your area is the right person to ask.
