DECLARATION OF IDENTITY

A Declaration of Identity is a letter prepared by a suitably qualified professional that certifies that all of the services to a property are located within the site boundary of the property. These services usually include a septic tank/waste water treatment systems and percolation area, services, the dwelling and ancillary works and a private supply water well.

​

The Declaration is signed by the suitably qualified professional and is witnessed in the presence of a Commissioner of Oaths. The declaration refers to a folio number and is accompanied by the Folio map outlining the site in red.

​

It is generally requested by the purchasers Solicitors to ensure that no issues arise in the future with access to these services. A declaration of identity is most commonly required for sites in rural locations.
