What is an Affidavit?

An Affidavit is a written sworn statement of fact, voluntarily made under oath or affirmation, and is used as evidence in courts, institutions, and government bodies. It is a critical document that legally binds the declarant to the truth of the information stated.

Affidavits are required for a wide range of purposes — from address proof, name change, and birthdate correction, to property ownership, identity verification, and legal declarations for income, education, or marital status.

Having an accurate, well-formatted affidavit ensures its acceptance by authorities and safeguards you from potential legal issues.
