The Affidavit Service (also known simply as “affidavit”) is a legal document in which a person makes a written statement under oath, certifying the veracity of the information provided. This type of statement is used in different legal and administrative contexts to affirm the authenticity of certain facts, data or information relevant to a specific case or procedure.

Some examples of situations in which Affidavits may be required are:

1. Judicial proceedings: In a trial, the parties involved may present affidavits as evidence to support their arguments or to assert certain facts relevant to the case.

2. Legal procedures: In certain legal procedures, such as immigration applications, divorces or adoptions, affidavits may be requested to support the veracity of the information provided.

3. Income or Asset Statements: In some cases, individuals may be required to submit an affidavit to certify their income, assets, or financial situations.

4. Notarial Matters: Some notarial documents may require an affidavit to ensure the authenticity of certain facts.

It is critical that Affidavits be complete and accurate as they provide legally binding information and any false statements can have serious legal consequences. For this reason, it is common for people to be well advised by lawyers before drafting and presenting an affidavit in any legal or administrative procedure.
