myGov Accepts Digital ID for Statutory Declarations

Digital ID integration through myGov now allows Australian individuals to sign Commonwealth statutory declarations online. Simply sign in with your Digital ID, enter the necessary details, declare, and download your signed PDF with a unique QR code for future verification. This new method is a more efficient alternative to the traditional requirement of a witnessed signature.

Jordan Hatch, associated with the Australian Government, acknowledges the collaborative effort of the Regulatory Reform team, Services Australia, and the Attorney-General’s Department in achieving this milestone over the past three years.

Users seeking to sign statutory declarations can now do so digitally, where the traditional method of obtaining a physical signature from an approved witness was the only option. This initiative is a part of the government’s commitment to digital innovation and the simplification of legal processes for Australians.
