  • Form of the declaration and availability of the forms

    - Declaration forms are downloadable from the website of the CCAC (www.ccac.org.mo) or given out free of charge by the service or institution the declarant serves. The service or institution3 the declarant serves should provide the declarant, free of charge, with one set of the respective envelopes. If for any reason an extra envelope is needed, the cost is to be borne by the declarant.
    - Whenever the spouse or the cohabiting partner4 of the declarant is obliged to provide information, the relevant service or institution should also provide him/her, through the declarant, with one set of Parts I and II of the declaration forms and the respective envelopes.

    print
  • When both spouses or cohabiting partners are holders of public positions or staff of the Public Administration
    When both of them have to submit declarations at the same time

    Joint declaration

    If none of the declarants objects to access by the other to his/her own declaration contents, they may jointly submit one single declaration which includes all information to be declared and which both of them will sign in the capacity of declarants. On submission, the original will then be enclosed in the individual file of the first declarant while the photocopy will be inserted into that of the other.

    Separate declaration

    If one of the declarants objects to access by the other to his/her own declaration contents, the declarants may submit their declarations separately. In such case, they only have to make and sign on their own respective declaration. Nonetheless, the declarant shall fill in the personal data of the spouse or of the cohabiting partner in Part I of his/her own declaration. 

    Two alternatives in separate declaration:
    - Filling in one declaration: On submission, the declarant should inform the staff responsible for receiving declaration (hereinafter "the staff") that he/she is also obliged to provide information in the capacity of spouse or cohabiting partner. With assistance from the staff, the declarant will photocopy his/her own declaration. The original and the photocopy of the declaration will be enclosed in sealed envelopes and inserted into the individual files of the declarant and his/her spouse or cohabiting partner respectively. It should be noted, however, that either of the spouses, despite having access to his/her own individual file, is not entitled to retrieve the data submitted by his/her spouse. 
    - Filling in two declarations: The declarant, in addition to submitting one complete set of the declaration to be enclosed in his/her individual file, shall also submit another set of Parts I and II of the declaration in order to fulfil the duty of providing information in the capacity of spouse or cohabiting partner, which is to be inserted into the individual file of his/her spouse (Please refer to "Guidelines for filling in the declaration forms to fulfil the obligation of providing information in the capacity of spouse or cohabiting partner").

     

    When only one spouse is obliged to submit the declaration but the other one is not yet obliged to renew his/her own
     

    Regardless of whether it is a joint or a separate declaration, the party who is not yet obliged to renew the declaration may choose to: 
      (1) Take the opportunity to renew his/her declaration in the capacity of declarant; or
      (2) Provide the required information for the declarant to complete the declaration, in the capacity of spouse or cohabiting partner (Please refer to "Guidelines for filling in the declaration forms to fulfil the obligation of providing information in the capacity of spouse or cohabiting partner").
         
    ◆ What is the benefit of taking the opportunity to renew the declaration in the capacity of declarant?
      The main benefit is that it effectively renews the declaration. The future obligation to submit a declaration after the aforesaid five-year time limit will be counted from this renewal.

    Important notice regarding the submission of declaration
    1. To ensure a speedy submission, the declarant should fill in the declaration forms properly before submission. When the spouses submit their declarations jointly, it is important to make sure that the respective parts are signed by both of them.
    2. In addition to filling in the declaration, the declarant shall also write his/her name and position on the respective envelopes and put an "x" or a "✓" in the appropriate box to indicate the reason of this declaration:
      ￭"New appointment" - when the declarant joins the public service for the first time, or resumes his/her duties in a new entity or institution (including the resumption of original public duties after leave without pay).
      ￭"Termination of office" - voluntary or compulsory retirement, termination of service for retirement, removal from duty, termination of contract, termination of appointment by the current department, dismissal (as disciplinary action) or long-term leave without pay.
      ￭"Change of position" - change of entity or service, change of status and position, or change of salary or monthly remuneration of an amount exceeding or equal to 85 points of the salary index of the public service.
      ￭"Others" - other situations which are left unspecified above, such as compulsory renewal every five years or voluntary renewal.
      The declarant shall put an "x" or a "✓" in the appropriate box to indicate the place of submission.
    3. The declarant should prepare one photocopy of his/her own identification document and one of his/her spouse's or cohabiting partner's to facilitate identity confirmation.
    4. The declarant should not seal any part of the declaration. The declaration should be initialled and sealed in the appropriate envelopes by the staff in charge in the presence of the declarant.
    5. If the declaration is to be sent by mail, all the parts and the respective envelopes should be sealed together in one envelope prepared by the declarant, clearly marked as "Confidential", stating the identification of the declarant and mentioning "declaration enclosed". The declaration should be sent, by registered mail with return receipt requested, before the expiration of the term, to the President of the Court of Final Appeal or the Commissioner Against Corruption.

The declarant may collect it anytime in person.
