<upd_detl>https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/陳述書 in legal context, it directly translate to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affidavit. 

In government executive process as described like - https://gyosyo.info/行政手続法21条：陳述書等の提出/,   
I think it would maps to process of "petition" in English.  i.e. https://www.foreffectivegov.org/node/4061.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I've sat on this a while as it seemed a bit of a stretch. None of the JEs has affidavit or petition. On reflection and looking more at Koj, etc. I think it's probably OK.</upd_detl>
