Frequently Asked Questions
Does an affidavit need to be notarized?
Yes. An affidavit is a sworn statement that must be signed under oath before a notary public. Without notarization, it is just a written statement and may not be accepted by courts or agencies.
What is the difference between an acknowledgment and a jurat?
An acknowledgment verifies that the signer voluntarily signed the document. A jurat (used for affidavits) requires the signer to swear an oath that the contents are true. Affidavits always use jurats.
Can I write my own affidavit?
Yes. You can draft your own affidavit as long as it includes the required elements: a statement of facts, penalty of perjury language, a signature line, and a jurat for notarization.
