declarant

One who states

A declarant is a person who makes a formal declaration or statement, especially in legal contexts.

The term appears most often in law, referring to someone whose out-of-court statement is offered as evidence: The declarant was unavailable to testify, so the court admitted her written statement.

In customs and immigration, a declarant is the person signing a declaration form.
