What is a Affidavit?
An affidavit is a written statement of facts that you swear or affirm to be true under penalty of perjury. It is commonly used in court proceedings, real estate transactions, and administrative matters.
When do you need one?
You may need an affidavit when applying for a name change, proving residency, attesting to identity, supporting a legal claim, or fulfilling government or institutional requirements.
Does it need to be notarized?
Yes. Most affidavits require notarization to be legally valid. A notary verifies your identity and witnesses your signature, making the document admissible as evidence.
Can you notarize a Affidavit online in your state?
Yes — in every state. 45 states have enacted their own remote online notarization (RON) laws, and residents of the remaining states can legally notarize online with a commissioned notary in a RON-authorized state; the notarization is valid nationwide under interstate recognition rules. Select your state for its specific requirements.
