Statement-of-truth redaction is the removal of personal data from a document confirmed under CPR Part 22, applying CPR 5.4C and the DPA 2018. anonym.plus marks each identifier on your device, so the signed facts stay whole while the data goes.
When this applies
A document checked by a statement of truth states facts and often cites third-party data. You trim those identifiers before it joins the court file.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the document in anonym.plus on your device.
- The tool flags the maker and third-party identifiers.
- Local OCR reads a scanned signature page.
- Keep the statement of truth wording intact.
- Swap or black out the confirmed items.
- Save the clean copy locally.
What you need to provide
- The signed document (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Replace keeps the facts readable).
- Optional name map for repeat parties.

Limitations & cautions
A maker may state a unique fact that re-identifies someone with no name at all. The tool flags named items. Read narrative paragraphs for indirect clues before you file.
Frequently asked questions
Is a confirmed document treated like a witness statement here?
Yes for redaction. Both carry a statement of truth and fall under CPR 5.4C access, so anonym.plus flags identifiers the same way in each.
Will the statement of truth wording survive the pass?
Yes. Protect it via the allow-list. Only personal identifiers in the body are marked.
Does anything leave my machine?
No. The app is fully offline, so the signed document stays privileged on your device.
