Community Information
Justice of the Peace (JP) Services
Justices of the Peace (JPs) are volunteers appointed by the Governor of New South Wales.

When visiting a JP, please ensure you have:
- Your original copy of the document you are having certified
- Number of copies required
- Identification (including photo identification)
- Any necessary completed forms
- A pen
