Affidavits: Affidavits Made On Oath

An affidavit is a written statement made under oath or affirmation that is signed by the person making the statement. The form of an affidavit varies depending on whether an oath is taken on a Bible or a solemn affirmation is made. Affidavits made on oath follow a standard format that includes the name and address of the person making the statement, their signed statement, and verification before a Justice of the Peace. Affidavits made on solemn affirmation follow a similar format but substitute affirmation language for oath language.
