  1. Upload a certified photocopy of your official government-issued change of information documentation and a certified copy of your current identification document to Macquarie eForms,

Please refer to this government website for the requirements for getting an approved or qualified witness overseas: Making a Commonwealth statutory declaration overseas (Attorney-General's Department).

There are three main options you may take:

1. You may have your statutory declaration signed in person while overseas by: a Notary Public, an Australian Consulate official, or an approved witness who has a connection to Australia.
2. An Australian registered professional (from the list provided on page 2 of the Statutory Declaration template) witnessing remotely. The witness should record what video conferencing tool was used (eg. Zoom) in Section 10.
3. Digital Commonwealth statutory declaration on My Gov (you do not need a witness).
