Important Points About Declaration Letters

Stamp paper: Some declarations require non-judicial stamp paper of specific denomination (usually 100 or 500 rupees). Check with your local tehsil office for the exact requirement. You can print the declaration on plain paper and then get it notarized.

Notarization: Most declarations need to be notarized by a Notary Public or attested by a Gazetted Officer. This adds legal validity to the document.

Witnesses: Some declarations require two witnesses with their signatures and addresses. Make sure the witnesses are adults with valid ID proof.

Photo: Some tehsil offices require a passport size photo of the declarant affixed to the declaration letter.
