- QUOTE: An affidavit is a written statement of facts, sworn to and signed by the declarant (affiant) before an officer authorized to administer oaths, such as a notary public. The purpose of an affidavit is to provide evidence in legal proceedings, with the affiant affirming that the information is true and accurate to the best of their knowledge and belief. Once signed, it carries the same weight as if the testimony were given in court under oath. Affidavits are used in many legal situations, such as confirming the identity of an individual, stating financial information, or attesting to the authenticity of documents. It must be executed voluntarily and without coercion, and the signer must understand its contents, as false statements made in an affidavit are punishable under perjury laws.
