Tippy, when a JP signs a Stat Dec they are only signing to say that they have witnessed the person signing the document.....they are not guaranteeing the truthfulness of the information in the Declaration.  They dont even have to see what is written...the person signing it can hide what is written.

Similarly, if they are asked to verify that a document is a true and accurate copy, they only have to see the two documents together....they are not guaranteeing that the information in them is true.
