About this service

Declarations and affidavits are often requested when details differ across documents, when a personal statement is required, or when someone needs to act on your behalf.

SimplYes explains the purpose of common declarations and supports the administrative preparation — with a clear boundary: we do not provide legal representation or legal drafting.

What these documents are for

A name-discrepancy declaration explains why a name is spelt differently across documents. A personal declaration or affidavit is a formal written statement. A Power of Attorney authorises another person to act for you in a defined matter.

Where your matter requires legal advice, notarisation or another regulated service, we will tell you so and you should consult an appropriately qualified professional.
