What is an Affidavit?
The affidavit is a formal declaration made by an affiant or deponent, under oath or affirmation, and witnessed by a person legally authorised to administer it.
An affidavit is a sworn statement in writing. The person signing it must do so in front of a legal official. This can be a solicitor, notary public, or commissioner for oaths. They confirm the affidavit's truth.
The affidavit's content varies by situation. It might include personal details, facts, or legal documents.
Unlike statutory declarations, which are used for various purposes, affidavits are exclusively meant for court use and limited to legal proceedings.
What Does "Affirming an Affidavit" Mean?
Affirming an affidavit means a solicitor verifies its authenticity. They check the document is signed correctly and that the person swearing it understands its truthfulness.
When Do I Need an Affidavit?
You may need an affidavit in situations requiring a sworn statement of facts under oath. Common scenarios include:
- Divorce cases or family law matters.
- Property disputes or inheritance claims.
- Debt cases or responding to statutory demands.
- Proving your identity, address, or circumstances for official purposes.
- Clarifying legal relationships or personal information.
- Providing court evidence when a witness statement or oral testimony isn’t feasible.
- Verifying income, business earnings, or other financial matters.
Who Can Sign an Affidavit in the UK?
In the UK, an affidavit must be sworn or affirmed in the presence of one of the following:
- A solicitor

- Commissioners for oaths
- A magistrate (in certain cases)
How Can an Affidavit Solicitor Assist You in Preparing Your Affidavit?
Our affidavit solicitors in London help by writing the affidavit. We make sure it's clear, legally correct, and includes all necessary details. We also advise on what information to include.
For affidavit drafting, our solicitors in London offer an affordable fixed fee of £100 + VAT, and witnessing signatures is only £20.
What Does It Mean to Execute an Affidavit?
The solicitor will witness the signing of the affidavit and ask whether you wish to swear or affirm it. Based on your choice, the solicitor will guide you on the appropriate words to use to take the oath or affirmation.
Usually, you sign an affidavit with a solicitor, notary, judicial officer, or someone else who can swear oaths.
When you swear, your signature proves you're the one making the affidavit. The witness confirms your identity.
