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?

Remote online notarization is authorized in 45 states, and a notarization performed under a state’s RON law is generally recognized in the others — so signers in states without their own RON statute can usually still notarize online with a commissioned notary elsewhere. Whether this document is eligible, and whether it needs witnesses, depends on your state and on the party who will accept it. Select your state for its specific rules.
