AFFIDAVITS
Affidavits and Sworn Statements, Notarized
An affidavit is a written statement you swear or affirm is true, signed in front of a notary. We come to you to administer the oath and notarize affidavits for courts, agencies, employers and offices abroad, and we add an apostille when your affidavit is going to another country.

What happens at your appointment
Situations we handle often
"One and the same person"
Your name appears differently on two documents, and an office abroad wants a sworn statement linking them.
Support for a visiting relative
A consulate or school asks you to swear you'll support a family member during their stay.
A lost document
A bank, insurer or agency needs a sworn statement before issuing a replacement.
Business records for a lawsuit
A records custodian swears that business records are authentic and kept in the ordinary course of business.
Mistakes we help you avoid
- Signing before the oath. An affidavit should be signed in front of the notary after the oath.
- Blank spaces. We can't notarize a document with blanks left to fill in later. Complete it or mark blanks "N/A."
- The wrong certificate. An affidavit needs a jurat, not an acknowledgment. We use the wording the recipient expects.
- Name differences. If your ID name differs from the affidavit, you may need a name affidavit. Tell us in advance.

Can you write my affidavit?
No. We're notaries and document specialists, not attorneys, so we can't give legal advice, draft documents or explain their legal effect.
Can I sign an affidavit in another language?
Yes, if you understand what you're signing. The notarial certificate will be in English.
What if I don't want to swear an oath?
You can affirm instead. It carries the same weight.
Can my affidavit be used abroad?
Yes, with an apostille or legalization. We handle both.
What ID do I need?
A valid, unexpired government photo ID, such as a driver's license or passport.
Can you notarize an affidavit at a hospital?
