What is Affidavit Drafting?

An Affidavit is a written statement of facts, sworn to be true by the person making it (the "deponent"), signed before a Notary Public or Executive Magistrate. It's a legally recognised way to formally declare facts — such as a change of name, proof of address, or a declaration of income — for use with government departments, banks, employers, or courts.

"Affidavits shall be confined to such facts as the deponent is able of his own knowledge to prove." — Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, Order XIX, Rule 3
