Requirement to certify a transparency declaration

Part 3 of the transparency declaration – Certifier information

This part of the transparency declaration requires that a person certify that the information on the declaration is correct and complete. They do this by signing the transparency declaration as a certifier.

Who may certify the transparency declaration

The person who certifies the declaration must be one of the following:

  • The transferee – the person who will be the registered owner of the interest in land after the application is submitted

or

  • Another person that the transferee or reporting body has authorized to sign for them, such as a director or officer of a corporation.  They do not have to be a lawyer or notary public, but must be an adult with knowledge of the matters certified.

How many certifiers are required?

The transparency declaration must be certified by every transferee or a person on their behalf. If there is only one transferee, then only one certifier is required.
