Have you changed your signature since your last Indian passport was issued? You'll need to submit a statutory declaration to VFS confirming that you have changed your signature but that you're still the one and the same person. If you live in NSW, you'll also need to have that statutory declaration notarised.
Statutory Declaration for Change of Signature templates
Not sure where to get the statutory declaration? Don't worry, we've got you covered. Check out our following templates in Word format. They're so easy to use.
Both versions are essentially the same - just slightly different wording, but both will do the job so choose the one you prefer.
Instructions
To complete these statutory declarations, all you need to do is download the template to your computer and open it with Microsoft Word (other applications may not properly recognise the necessary field codes), enter your full name (as it appears in your passport), your current residential address, and your Indian passport number. That's it!
Once you print the document, the rest will self populate (if you're using Microsoft Word properly). All you need to do after that is make an appointment with our office to have your signature witnessed and your statutory declaration notarised. It's quite simple.
