Declaración jurada (visa venezolana)
A declaración jurada for a Venezuelan visa is a sworn statement in Spanish that says you do not have a criminal record in your home country or elsewhere. Portals and consulates attach it next to your passport copy and planilla.
When you need it
Requirements vary by visa class and channel, including online filing versus an in-person consulate appointment. If Cancillería Digital or your consulate checklist lists declaración jurada, assume you must upload a signed PDF unless they explicitly waive it.
Does it replace a criminal-record certificate?
Usually, no. A declaración jurada is your sworn statement. A police certificate or antecedentes penales is a separate government-issued record. If your checklist asks for both, upload both; if it asks only for one, follow the checklist.
What the no-criminal-record wording means
The standard wording says, under oath, that you do not have criminal records in your home country or any other country, and that the statement is provided for a Venezuela visa application. Read it before signing, because false declarations can carry legal consequences.
How to complete it safely
Read the Spanish body once so you understand what you are signing. Fill your name, nationality, and passport number carefully so they match your passport scan character-for-character.
You may type your signature as your full legal name. Our tool renders it in cursive for PDF. You can also print blank, sign in ink, and scan. Do not alter the core legal wording unless a lawyer tells you to.
When to notarize or ask for legal help
If a consulate specifically asks for a notarized sworn statement, use the consulate's instruction rather than a plain typed PDF. Ask a lawyer or consular officer before signing if you have any prior arrest, conviction, expungement, pending case, or uncertainty about the statement.

FAQ
What is a declaración jurada for a Venezuelan visa?
A declaración jurada is a sworn statement, usually in Spanish, that supports your Venezuela visa file. For this use case it commonly states that you do not have a criminal record in your home country or elsewhere.
Can I use a typed signature?
A typed signature may be acceptable when the portal asks for a simple printable PDF, but some consulates may require a wet signature or notarization. If the checklist specifies how to sign, follow that instruction.
Is this an official Venezuelan government form?
No. This generator is an independent preparation aid, not an official government form or legal advice. Verify the current requirement and do not sign any statement that is untrue.
