Whenever any matter is required or permitted by law or by rule to be supported by the sworn
written statement of a person (other than a deposition, oath of office, or oath required to be taken
before a specified official other than a notary public), the matter may, with the same force and
effect, be supported by the unsworn declaration, certificate, verification, or statement, in writing
of such person which is subscribed as true under penalty of perjury, and dated, in substantially
the following form:
(1) If executed without the United States: "I declare (or certify, verify, or state) under
penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the
foregoing is true and correct. Executed on (date).
(Signature)".
(2) If executed within the United States, its territories, possessions, or
commonwealths: "I declare (or certify, verify, or state) under penalty of perjury
that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on (date).
(Signature)".
