General Affidavit Format: Free Word Download with Verification
An affidavit is a written statement of facts that you swear or affirm to be true before a Notary Public or Oath Commissioner. Offices, banks, schools and courts ask for one for many purposes: proof of address, change of name, loss of documents, income, or that two names belong to the same person. A false affidavit is a criminal offence, so state only facts you know to be true.

How to fill and use it
Common mistakes to avoid
- Signing before reaching the Notary.
- Name or address spelt differently from your ID proof.
- Leaving out the verification paragraph at the end.
हिंदी में: यह सामान्य शपथ पत्र (Affidavit) का फॉर्मेट है। इसे स्टाम्प पेपर पर प्रिंट करें, हर पैराग्राफ में एक तथ्य लिखें, और नोटरी या ओथ कमिश्नर के सामने ही हस्ताक्षर करें। झूठा शपथ पत्र देना अपराध है।
