FAQ

Questions, answered

Is online witnessing legally valid?+

Yes. Remote witnessing by audio-visual link is permanently permitted for statutory declarations and affidavits across the Commonwealth and the states and territories we support. Your lawyer applies the exact endorsement required by your jurisdiction, and signs the same document on the same day, as the law requires.

Who actually witnesses my document?+

A qualified Australian legal practitioner, on a live video call, in real time. Not an automated bot and not a call centre. Because a lawyer can witness documents nationwide, we can help across every state and territory we support.

What documents can you witness?+

Statutory declarations, affidavits, and many contracts and deeds that need a witness to their execution (for example employment, construction, subcontracting, supply, NDAs, loans and general commercial agreements). When you choose a contract or deed, we ask what it relates to so we can confirm we are able to witness it.

What do I need to have ready?+

Your unsigned document in electronic form (PDF works best), a current Australian driver licence or passport for the identity check, a device with a camera, and a quiet, well-lit spot for the short call.

How long does it take?+

Most sessions are done in about five minutes from connecting to download. There is no appointment and no need to print or scan anything.

What is the identity check (VOI)?+

Verification of Identity is a quick, secure step where you photograph your ID and complete a short face scan that confirms the ID belongs to you. The lawyer has a professional duty to be satisfied of your identity before witnessing.

Which states and territories are supported?+

The Commonwealth, QLD, NSW, VIC, SA, ACT and NT. Western Australia and Tasmania are not supported at launch due to state regulatory restrictions.

Why can't I use this for a will, power of attorney, or land document?+

Wills and powers of attorney carry strict capacity and witnessing requirements that are not appropriate for a short remote call, and land title and sale-of-land documents mandate face-to-face identity checks. We deliberately exclude these to protect you, and our system blocks them.

Is the call recorded, and where is my data stored?+

Yes, the call is recorded and stored securely on Australian-based servers, in line with the Australian Privacy Principles. The recording protects you and satisfies the evidentiary requirements for remote witnessing. You consent before the call begins.

When do I pay, and what if it doesn't work out?+

You only pay once the witnessing is complete and your document is ready, then you download it. If we are unable to witness your document, you are not charged.

What if the call drops or my camera won't work?+

You can rejoin and pick up where you left off. If your camera or connection won't cooperate, we simply won't be able to complete the witnessing, and you won't be charged.
