The volunteer JPs offer the following services:
- Administering oath declarations or affidavits, and taking statutory declarations and affirmations principally under the Oaths Act 1900

On busy days, JPs may limit the number of documents they can certify to 10 pages per customer per session. If you have more than 10 documents, you may be asked to wait for a second session to allow other community members to access this valuable service.
If you require an Enduring Power of Attorney to be witnessed it can be witnessed by a Solicitor or Court Registrar.
