Understanding Affidavits and Sworn Statements of Fact
An affidavit is a written statement of facts voluntarily made by an affiant under an oath or affirmation administered by a person authorized to do so by law, such as a notary public.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an affidavit used for?
An affidavit is used to present verified facts in court cases, administrative proceedings, banking transactions, and government applications when the person stating the facts cannot testify in person.
What happens if someone lies in an affidavit?
Because an affidavit is executed under oath and subject to penalty of perjury, deliberately making false statements in an affidavit is a felony crime punishable by fines and imprisonment.
What is the difference between an affidavit and a declaration?
An affidavit must be signed in the physical or digital presence of a notary public who administers an oath. An unsworn declaration is signed under penalty of perjury without requiring a notary, which is permitted in some federal and state court filings.
Who can be an Affiant?
An affiant is any legally competent individual of legal age (usually 18+) who has direct, personal knowledge of the facts stated in the document.
