You can get free Justice of the Peace (JP) services at the City of PAE. Find out when JPs are available at our libraries and Civic Centre.
What does a JP do?
The main role of a Justice of the Peace (JP) is to witness documents that are used for official or legal purposes, such as:
- Attesting or witnessing the execution of a document
- Taking an affidavit for use in court
- Taking a statutory declaration
- Certifying a true copy of an original document
- Witnessing the signing of an Advanced Care Directive
Whenever possible your meeting with a JP will be held in a semi-private area or in a private room.
