How to eSign a document: eSignature legitimateness for Assignment of Partnership Interest in Australia

we've got um a question a live question from gavin hi martin for the relationship statements i do have do i have to use statutory declarations form or can i just write on word and print with a signature and date the structure of the relationship statements on vz is dissimilar to the hierarchy order of the form so there's no if we're talking about the initial part of these applications so if you're submitting the first stage part of these applications so the onshore 820 or the offshore 309 or the prospective marriage visa so if this is the first time you're submitting a partner visa application and it's not the permanent partner visa okay so you haven't been invited to apply for the permanent partner visa we're just talking about the first time you apply there's no need to write statutory declarations okay so a stat a stat deck is a very formal way to make a declaration all we encourage our clients you know because to write a stat deck you need to go and get that witnessed you know by an appropriate person that can be time consuming and not necessarily easy to do during covert uh restrictions now it's a bit easier but for a long period there wasn't that simple to get your signature witnessed on a stat deck but despite that even if it was simple to get a stat deck witnessed we would still suggest that that's overkill you know it's it's going a bit over the top a sign relationship statement following the examples and the guides that you have access to is perfectly acceptable and sufficient to explain your relationship aspects and the history and your milestones and your future plans together as a couple and that becomes your statements it's not a statutory declaration because you're not using the commonwealth stat deck form to write your relationship statement you're just writing on a word document as as you've indicated gavin that being said there's nothing wrong with writing your relationship statements on a stat deck it just beefs it up a little bit makes it more formal but as i've said you know it's not it's not necessary and it's not how we typically will prepare a partner visa we don't go and get our clients the right stat decks for the relationship statements so relationship statements are effectively very similar but a lot easier to execute because you don't need to go anywhere to get things signed you can just write it and sign it and then that's your statement okay hope that answers that question kevin [Music] you
