A Justice of the Peace (JP) acts as an independent and objective witness to documents people use for official or legal purposes. For example, a JP may:

• certify a true copy of an original document
• certify a person's identity
• witness an affidavit for use in court
• witness a statutory declaration
• witness the signing of a document.

A JP is appointed by the Attorney-General . All JPs at Campbelltown Library are registered volunteers who willingly give their time to the community.
