The Canada SF38 form is a statutory declaration document used by the Alberta Pensions Services Corporation (APSC) for the Special Forces Pension Plan. It provides a legal way to confirm your identity when original documents are not available. The form carries the same legal weight as a sworn statement under the Canada Evidence Act.
You need this form if you are a Special Forces Pension Plan member and one of the following applies to you:
The SF38 declaration has the same legal weight as a sworn statement. This is possible because of the Canada Evidence Act. When you sign the form before a Commissioner for Oaths or Notary Public, the declaration becomes legally binding. This makes it a valid substitute for missing original documents in pension administration.
The form asks for your full personal details. You must list every name variation you have used throughout your life. For each variation, you must explain why your name changed. This creates a clear record that links every name to the same pension plan member. All personal information is protected under strict provincial privacy regulations.
Once you fill in all the required fields, take the form to a Commissioner for Oaths or a Notary Public. They will witness your signature and officially endorse the document. Keep a signed copy for your personal records. Then send the completed declaration to the APSC Member Services Centre for processing.
