Stat Dec Example: Fill & Download for Free

The New Zealand system may be a bit different to the Australian one, so read into this what you will. That said, in Australia there can be things like logs of emails in which you’re making plans for your future together, photos demonstrating that you’ve been “as together as possible”, and the like.If you’ve been unable to live together because there are legal or religious objections (the classic example being that you’re a same-sex couple and such a relationship is punishable by death in your partner’s country), you can indicate that in a stat-dec, too.The expectation is that you’ve spent a lot of time together, at the very least. So I hope this isn’t one of those online-only relationships.

It’s usually when applying for a passport for a minor that you need the permission of both parents, not so much the citizenship.For example when I applied for my daughters citizenship in Australia (she was born in the US) I needed to provide the details of both myself and my husband but I didn’t need my husbands signature. As her Australian citizenship is dependent on me not him. I believe that to be the same for the US, the child’s right to citizenship would be based on the US citizen parent.However, when we got her passports (both Australian and US) we both needed to sign and consent to her having a passport. For her US passport being that she was under 16 she needed to go to the US Embassy and have an interview, in Australia we don’t have a US Embassy in our state so they had to fly to Sydney. I told my husband he should go seeing he’s the US citizen, (they prefer both parents to go however being that distance was an issue and I couldn’t go)I had to do a stat dec signed by a Justice of the peace/notary that I approved of her obtaining a US passport.
