The Canada SF38 form serves as a pivotal statutory declaration for individuals dealing with the Alberta Pensions Services Corporation, specifically under the Special Forces Pension Plan. It comes into play when original documents are unavailable or when it's essential to affirm that variations of a name refer to the same individual. This could encompass scenarios ranging from simple name changes post-marriage to more complex situations where documentation to support a name change is missing. The form acts as a legal instrument, offering the same validity as if the declaration were made under oath, thanks to the Canada Evidence Act. It outlines a formal process where the declarant, after providing comprehensive personal information, including any name variations used across different life events, makes a solemn declaration before a Commissioner for Oaths or Notary Public. This is done to establish the identity of the plan member firmly and categorically. The process laid out in the form is designed to be straightforward — requiring the declarant to either handwrite or type their statement into the provided spaces, ensuring it's properly endorsed by an authorized official to gain validity. The Alberta Pensions Services Corporation, which administrates this procedure, underscores the importance of this declaration for the accuracy of pension plans, offering support and guidance through its Member Services Centre for any queries or uncertainties that might arise during this process. With personal information collected under strict regulatory frameworks intended to protect privacy and ensure accountability, the SF38 form stands as a crucial document for individuals navigating the intricacies of pension-related identity verification in Alberta.

When to complete a Statutory Declaration
This Declaration is completed when original documents are not available or to confirm that the name on your documents and birth certificate are in fact the same person.
If you have changed your name from the name you were given at birth to the name you are using now, and you do not have documentation to show this change, you may swear a Statutory Declaration.
Sometimes the name a person uses, and has always used is different or is spelled differently than the name shown on the birth document. In some cases, women who have changed their name through marriage, divorce, and remarriage do not always have copies of marriage certificates.
If this is the case, you can support your proof of age documents by swearing a Statutory Declaration before a Commissioner for Oaths* (in any province/ territory in Canada) or a Notary Public. Alberta Pensions Services Corporation (APS), SFPP’s pension administrator, offers this service to you free of charge.
Here is a sample of what might be written in a Statutory Declaration:
I solemnly declare as follows:
“I was born on February 29, 1940 and was named Roseanne Briars although I have always been known as Rose. I married and became Rose Bush. I divorced and later remarried and became Rose Thorne. I declare that Roseanne Briars, Rose Bush and Rose Thorne are one and the same person.”
Instructions for completing the Statutory Declaration
