Fast, Reliable, and Legally Compliant Online Notarization Services
What Is an Affidavit?
An affidavit is a sworn written statement made under oath or affirmation, where the person making the statement (the affiant) confirms that the contents are true to the best of their knowledge. Unlike statutory declarations, affidavits are sworn documents where the affiant takes an oath or solemn affirmation before signing.
Why Notarization Is Necessary?
Affidavit notarization is essential because:
- It establishes the affiant's identity through proper identification verification
- It confirms the affiant understands the document's content and legal implications
- It verifies the affiant has sworn an oath or made a solemn affirmation
- It creates a legally admissible document for court proceedings
- It helps prevent fraudulent submissions in legal and administrative matters
Under Ontario law, affidavits must be signed in the presence of a commissioner for taking oaths, notary public, or other authorized official to be legally valid and admissible in court.
