Since your divorce won't require an appearance before a judge, in addition to the documents above you
must fill out and swear/affirm <iclass="fa fa-question-circle"data-toggle="tooltip"data-placement="auto"data-html="true"data-trigger="click"title="<b>Swear/Affirm</b><br/><br/>To“takeanoath”infrontofalawyer,notarypublic,orcommissionerfortakingaffidavits
that statements made in court or the contents of an affidavit are true to the best of your knowledge and belief
that your oath is “under an immediate sense of responsibility to God”. A non-religious alternative is to affirm." aria-hidden="true"></i> an <atarget="_blank"href="http://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/law-crime-and-justice/courthouse-services/court-files-records/court-forms/supreme-family/f30.pdf?forcedownload=true">Affidavit Form (F30)</a>.
This document sets out the facts of your relationship and separation.
<p/>
<p>
Please follow these steps to ensure your affidavit does not get rejected:
</p>
<ul>
Both you and your spouse need to swear/affirm the affidavit. Take <b>photo identification</b> with you. The person who will swear/affirm the documents for you must be sure you are both who you say you are. One affidavit must be sworn/affirmed <b>at the time of filing.</b>
<p>
You'll notice that some of the information in the affidavit is the same as what's in your Notice of Joint Family Claim Form (F1). Because the Notice of Joint Family Claim is not a sworn document, and the judge/master must have sworn evidence to make a decision, you must swear or affirm that the information in these affidavits is true.

If you select the "specific date" option you can choose to have the divorce sooner.
However, you will need to request this as an "other" order in Step 1 of this questionnaire and you will need to provide evidence in your affidavit as to why the court should waive the 31 days.
