Confirm is indicator example is things will happen has happened with certainty which has been verified.

Declare is written or oral indication of a fact, opinion, belief usually with legal implications.

I believe that declare means: you are hoping the other sides' agrees with your opinion of something.

But confirm means: you are adapting of something that undergo a change.

I hope I am correct!
