ACS Expert Advice Needed: Query about witness for Statutory Declaration

Query about witness for Statutory Declaration

I need some expert advice here

I want to make a statutory declaration, as I am not getting the job reference letter from one of my previous company.
The question is about the witness in front of whom my work colleague has to make the declaration.

here is what the website says(Making a statutory declaration),

I live overseas and need to make a statutory declaration
You will need to find a witness who is both:
on the list of authorised witnesses, and
has a connection with Australia.

How will I find someone like this in India

I remember reading some posts where people said, we can find someone with the similar profession of what is mention in the authorized list and can make them as a witness...what to be done here?? what will work out ???...confused

Hi i had the same situation this is my second job i got success in getting the Experience letter from my previous Employer but my current Employer issued me a letter that was quite brief i meant to say without my JD then ACS has advised me to submit an Affidavit which i did and got success in ACS. you can search for the Afidavit Template in this forum you will find...Best of luck

And yes there is not need to provide any References because your deceleration on Court paper(Affidavit) is enough.

Hi Nivas,
just incase you are still active on this forum, I want to know did this thing work for you as well??

I am stuck in a similar situation. I am currently working onshore and unable to get an employer certificate for my current job. I asked ACS but they said self statutory declarations will not be accepted.

Has someone used any workaround like the above for this ?

[Forces82]

Ver much true Ankur, even I tried contacting ACS but the said self-declarations are no longer accepted w.e.f July 1st 2012.

Guys if employer is not providing and neither the supervisor then How do we proceed furthur ?
