Finding a JP
JP Public Register
You can find a Justice of the Peace (JP) using the online Public Register. You can search by postcode, name of a JP, day of availability, language spoken and JP registration number.
The register lists a JP’s location, availability and telephone number. Please note that JPs are volunteers and may not be available at all times.
For help using the JP Public Register, read the guide
JP Public Register - Find a JP [PDF 356kb]
Scheduled JP services
Many organisations make JPs available at scheduled times and locations. This may include your local council, court, library, chemist, post office or police station.
We maintain a listing of scheduled JP services by suburb. Please check the
list below to find an available JP.
If you are an organisation that provides scheduled JP services, you can notify us of any additions or changes to your listing by emailing
jp@justice.nsw.gov.au.
Interpreter services
If you have difficulty reading or understanding written English, both you and the JP are required to use an interpreter when you sign a statutory declaration or affidavit. This applies even if the JP speaks your language.
The interpreter should be accredited through the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI). For a list of accredited interpreters, please visit www.naati.com.au
You can also access interpreter and translation services from:
Multicultural NSW
Translating and Interpreting Service
Statutory declaration by an interpreter
Suggested wording for a statutory declaration by an accredited interpreter or by other interpreters can be downloaded from
NSW Statutory Declaration Forms.
Legal help
