FAQ
An affidavit or affirmation is a statement of facts made by a person under oath. Generally, this is the means by which the parties or their witnesses submit evidence to the court during the hearing of an interlocutory application (or other kinds of application).
Affirmation: A statement, signed by an attorney or physician, osteopath or dentist, which is certified to be true under the penalties of perjury and which may, under the law, be served and filed in lieu of an affidavit.

Affidavits are typically used as evidence in court proceedings and carry a higher level of formality than general statements. The person making the affidavit is called the 'deponent' and they swear or affirm the truthfulness of the statements under penalty of perjury.

Once you've sworn your affidavit, it's done. With one exception — for typos, discussed below — the only way you can fix a mistake in that affidavit or add additional information to it is to make a new affidavit.
Errors in personal information, such as a wrong name or address, often require correction to prevent complications in transactions or official records.
