Justices of the Peace (JPs) are volunteers appointed by the Governor of New South Wales. JPs come from all sections of the community and are available across NSW.
The primary roles of a JP are to witness a person making a statutory declaration or affidavit, and to certify copies of original documents.
Important information
- Justice of the Peace services may be available Monday to Friday at the Nowra Administration Centre, but availability is not guaranteed
- you can also visit the NSW Justices of the Peace Register to locate a JP near you
