Swear the Financial Statement
You'll need:
- your completed Financial Statement (Form 4) and all attachments
- photo identification such as a
- BC identity card,
- driver’s licence, or
- passport.
If you're not applying to change a support order or you aren't required to file a Financial Statement, go directly to Step 3.
If you have to file a Financial Statement, you must swear that the information in it and any supporting documents is true.
Take your documents to the courthouse. Registry staff will check your documents to be sure you’ve completed them correctly.
A person at the registry can swear the financial statement and then file it for you. There is no fee for swearing or filing your documents.
You can use a lawyer or notary to swear your documents if you prefer. They will charge for this service.
You can’t change the financial statement after it’s sworn. So it’s a good idea to have the registry staff review your completed financial statement before you sign it and have it sworn.
