Yes it needs to be signed dated and notorised. Then it will not carry as much weight as a live witness but depending on what the statement says it has the potential to help.

Can a witness's statement be notarized?

A witness can make written statements of their own recollection and have THEM notarized if they wish, although I am unclear as to what purpose this would serve. A witnesses statement (notarized or not) cannot be substituted for their actual appearance and in-person oral testimony in court. Any oral statements made by a witness to investigating authorities are assumed to be truthful and accurate, and no need exists to notarize the notes that the investigators will take. Witnesses DEPOSITIONS can be notarized, although most depositions are given/taken while under oath anyway.

According to the police, an independent witness is someone who is not led by that of a friend or someone who can be influenced by you. For example, if you were verbally assaulted by another and you had 10 friends at your side who witnessed this, their statement cannot be used in a court of law or as evidence. So unjust I know, believe me.... But if you want an independent witness, try someone you don't know.


What happens if you are a witness in court case but cannot attend?

In the United States, witnesses are usually summoned to court via a subpoena, which is an order from the court to appear at the date and time scheduled. If you fail to appear, the court can find you in contempt and issue a warrant for your arrest. Witnesses are required to appear and testify to ensure a fair trial for the accused.

Bank statements are automatically generated by the bank and include all transactions that have occurred in your account during the statement period, such as deposits, withdrawals, and fees. However, you can manage your transactions, such as by avoiding certain charges or opting for electronic statements, which may provide a different format or level of detail.

Generally, a judge cannot order a body attachment for a witness without a subpoena being issued first. A subpoena is a legal document that compels a witness to appear in court or produce evidence. If a witness fails to comply with a subpoena, the judge may then consider a body attachment to enforce attendance. However, without a subpoena, there is typically no legal basis for such an order.
