When filling out your application form you must ensure that:

• you complete all sections of the application form in full
• you use an eligible witness to sign your declaration
• you complete the form correctly.

If you fail to comply with any of those requirements or if your application has lapsed, you will have to complete a new application form.

If your eligible witness does not state their correct title (e.g. notary public) on the declaration page of your application form, you will have to provide documentary evidence of their title in a statutory declaration.
