Insurance Claim Statutory Declarations: Total Loss & Theft Guide
Notary Public Serve
Professional Notary Public
Major insurance claims—such as vehicle theft or a total loss write-off—require more than just a phone call. Your insurer will likely ask for a Statutory Declaration or a notarized Proof of Loss form.
Why Do Insurers Require an Oath?
Insurance fraud is a significant concern. By requiring you to swear an oath before a Notary Public, the insurance company ensures your statement has the same legal weight as court testimony. This protects both the insurer and the honest claimant.
The Notary's Role in Your Claim
A Notary verifies your identity and ensures you are making the statement truthfully and voluntarily. They will also certify any required true copies of your ownership or ID documents, which are often needed to finalize the settlement.
At Notary Public Serve, we provide fast, professional service to help you get through the paperwork of an insurance claim and get your settlement processed quickly.
