If you are requesting an authorized copy of a birth, death, or marriage certificate, you MUST complete the Sworn Statement included with the application and sign the statement (declaring under penalty of perjury that you are entitled by law to receive an authorized copy).
Key components include: Title: Start with a title, often labeled “Sworn Statement” or “Affidavit.” Affiant Identification: Include the full name, address, and relevant identification details of the affiant. Statement of Facts: Present facts in a clear, chronological order.
Affidavits generally carry greater formal weight and are typically preferred for court filings or formal proceedings. Declarations, while signed under penalty of perjury, lack notarization, making them suitable for less formal settings or jurisdictions that permit unsworn statements.
The following are six critical sections that must be included: Title. This is either your name (“Affidavit of Jane Doe”) or the specific case information. Statement of identity. The next paragraph tells the court about yourself. Statement of truth. Statement of facts. Closing statement of truth. Sign and notarize.
The execution of an affidavit requires proper notarization. Typically, notaries public witness the signing of the affidavit, ensuring the authenticity of the signatory's identity. They may also require identification for verification, such as a driver's license or passport.
Legally, you are not required to have the Affidavit notarized. But many institutions will ask you to do so, so it may be a good idea to notarize it before you try to use it to transfer the property. If there are other people entitled to inherit the property, they must also sign the Affidavit.
