Resume ending: “I hereby declare…”

The classic resume ending “I hereby declare” line is a short promise that the details are correct. People searching “resume ending I hereby” usually want the exact wording, which is given below, along with where to put place, date and signature.

Is a declaration necessary?

It is customary, not legally required. Government applications, PSUs, many Indian private employers and almost all biodatas expect it. Multinational companies and overseas employers usually don't, and it can be left out for them.

Declaration examples

  • “I hereby declare that the information given above is true to the best of my knowledge and belief.”
  • “I hereby declare that all the details furnished above are true and correct to the best of my knowledge.”
  • “I hereby declare that the above-mentioned information is correct, and I bear the responsibility for its correctness.” (common on government forms)
  • Fresher: “I hereby declare that the above information is true, and I am willing to learn and contribute to the organisation.”

Where and how to place it

Declaration
I hereby declare that the information given above is true to the best of my knowledge and belief.

Place: Lucknow                                   (Your Full Name)
Date: 21/10/2026

Keep it as the last section. Leave space above the name for a signature if the resume will be printed and signed for an interview or document verification.

Should I sign the declaration?

Sign printed copies submitted at interviews or with forms. For emailed PDFs, the typed name is enough.

Both the resume builder and the job biodata maker add the declaration with place and date automatically; edit the wording if your employer gives a specific format.
