How to Write an Affidavit Statement

An affidavit is a legal document so it does have the right format to follow when writing one. As mentioned before, anyone can write an affidavit but it needs to be notarized by an attorney to make it valid. Below is the format for writing an affidavit.

1. Create a Title

The top part of the affidavit document is where you’ll place the title of the affidavit. The title tells what your sworn statement is going to be about. Include your name and the topic of the affidavit.

2. Make the Statement of Identity

This section is where you’ll write your personal information that is relevant to your case. Exclude other information that is unimportant to the case.

3. Make the Statement of Truth

This section is where you will swear that you are telling accurate facts of your case based on your knowledge and agree you that won’t lie. Write this section in the first-person point of view.

4. State the Facts

This section is the longest part of your affidavit since this is where you will state the facts of your case. Make sure to include all accurate information pertaining to the case. Avoid putting in your personal opinions; only state the facts in a concise and objective manner. If you’re stating events, write them down in chronological order. You also need to provide details such as names, dates, times and addresses to support your statement. To make your affidavit easy to read, you can number each paragraph.

5. Repeat the Statement of Truth

Once you’re done writing down all the facts, close everything out with another statement of truth. All you need to write is a summary that everything you’ve written above is true to the best of your knowledge.

To complete your affidavit, you need to let an attorney notarize it. You also need to sign the affidavit in the presence of the attorney, so don’t sign it yet unless the attorney sees you signing the affidavit.
