Affidavit in California: When and How to Use One

What is an Affidavit?

It's a written document in which you declare specific facts under oath and under penalty of perjury according to California law. Essentially, you're stating: "What I say here is true, and if I lie, I accept the legal consequences."

⚠️ This Document DOES Require Notarization

Unlike other simple documents, the Affidavit requires mandatory notarization. The notary public must witness your signature and administer the oath (jurat). Without notarization, an affidavit has no legal validity in California.

Our system automatically generates the California notary acknowledgment form at the end of the PDF, ready for you to take to any notary public.
