The City of Stirling provides a free Justice of the Peace (JP) service to members of the community. A JP can witness official documents, administer an oath or affirmation, and take an affidavit.
How the JP service works
Visitors to the JP must provide a copy of each document to be witnessed. The JP will sign a maximum of 15 document copies at any one time.
When a document requires a second signature, both witnesses must be present at the same time, and must be over 18 years of age. Documents which require a second signature include:
- Enduring Power of Attorney
- Enduring Power of Guardianship
- Advanced Health Directive
- Wills.
Please note, the City does not provide any photocopying services. The City's employees are not able to witness any documents or provide any signatures.
Justice of the Peace services will be unavailable at the City of Stirling Administration Centre and Stirling Libraries from 12 noon, Wednesday 24 December. The services will return from Monday 5 January 2026.
