A Sworn Declaration is a crucial legal instrument in Hong Kong's legal framework, governed primarily by the Oaths and Declarations Ordinance (Cap. 11). This document type is utilized when formal sworn statements are required for legal, administrative, or regulatory purposes. Common situations requiring a Sworn Declaration include court proceedings, visa applications, property transactions, corporate compliance matters, and government administrative procedures. The declaration must be made before an authorized person such as a Commissioner for Oaths or notary public, and false declarations can result in prosecution for perjury. The document's format and execution must comply with Hong Kong legal requirements, including proper identification of the declarant, clear statement of facts, and proper attestation.
