A person of whom a document certification requirement has been made must comply with the requirement unless the person has a reasonable excuse.
Maximum penalty—50 penalty units.

It is a reasonable excuse for an individual not to comply with a document certification requirement if complying might tend to incriminate the individual or expose the individual to a penalty.
(3)
However, subsection (2) does not apply if the document certification requirement relates to a document or information that is required to be held or kept by the person under this Act.
