Example of Self Declaration Form - Templates / Formats

A self-declaration is a statement made by a person declaring that all the statements of facts, figures and circumstances mentioned in a document is true and correct. Unlike an Affidavit, a Self-declaration doesn't necessarily require to be notarized and witnessed, but one may not do it if needed.

In simple words, a self-declaration is a method of double check wherein the person, in a way, swears that he has gone through all the statements made in a document by him and none of them are false. Such self-declaration helps the legal authority, who is verifying the said document, to understand and take a decision on the basis of such statements. 

A self-declaration can be made at the bottom of the ending part of the main document for which such declaration is made or else it can be made as a separate document with reference to the main document.

Following formats are examples of such self-declaration. However, it can be a little more descriptive depending upon the case. Affixing the photograph of the person, who is making the declaration, is not mandatory unless it is so required.
