<button class="govbb-button" type="submit">Accept and send</button>A declaration lets the user formally confirm their information before it is submitted. Show the name and date the declaration applies to, then a single checkbox the user must tick to agree.
When to use this pattern
Use it at the end of an application where the user is making a formal statement that their information is true, and is consenting to it being verified. It usually sits just before, or on, the check answers page.
Read the details back
Show the applicant's name and the date as read-only rows in a summary list, so the user can see exactly what they are confirming. Fill the date with the day the declaration is made.
The declaration text
Keep the wording plain and specific: what the user is confirming, what happens if the information is false, and how their information will be used. Put the whole statement in the checkbox label so agreeing to it is a single, deliberate action.
Errors
Do not let the form submit until the checkbox is ticked. If the user tries to continue without it, show one error message following the form error guidance, telling them they must confirm to go on.
