Professional Notary Services for Affidavits

By FINAO Notary Services · October 2026

Introduction

In legal, financial, and personal matters, sometimes a simple statement isn't enough. When you need to formally swear to the truth of a statement — or provide written testimony that carries legal weight — an Affidavit is the document you need.

An Affidavit is a written statement made under oath, voluntarily sworn to by the person making it (the "affiant"). Affidavits are used in a wide range of situations — from court proceedings and real estate transactions to immigration matters and financial disputes.

At FINAO Notary Services, we specialize in mobile notary services for Affidavits. We come to your home, office, hospital, or any convenient location — so you can complete this important legal document with ease.

What Is an Affidavit?

An Affidavit is a written statement of facts that the person making it swears to be true under oath. The word "affidavit" comes from Latin and means "he has stated under oath." Once signed and notarized, an Affidavit becomes a legally binding document that can be used in court and other legal proceedings.

Affidavits are used in a wide variety of situations, including:

• Court proceedings — Providing written testimony without appearing in person.
• Real estate transactions — Confirming ownership, identity, or property details.
• Immigration matters — Supporting visa petitions and green card applications.
• Financial disputes — Confirming debts, income, or financial obligations.
• Insurance claims — Supporting claims for damages or losses.
• Estate matters — Confirming facts related to a deceased person's estate.
• Business records — Verifying the accuracy of business documents.

Because Affidavits carry legal weight, they must be properly notarized to be legally valid.

Types of Affidavits

There are many different types of Affidavits, each serving a specific purpose. Here are some of the most common:

1. Affidavit of Identity

Used to confirm a person's identity when other forms of identification are unavailable or insufficient.

2. Affidavit of Residency

Used to confirm where a person lives, often for school enrollment, voting, or government benefits.

3. Affidavit of Support

Commonly used in immigration cases, this affidavit confirms that someone will financially support an immigrant.

4. Affidavit of Name Change

Used to document a legal name change for various purposes, including identification and records.

5. Affidavit of Heirship

Used in estate matters to establish who the legal heirs of a deceased person are.

6. Affidavit of Death

Used to confirm the death of a person, often for insurance claims or estate matters.

7. Financial Affidavit

Used to disclose financial information, often in divorce proceedings or loan applications.

8. Affidavit of Service

Used to confirm that legal documents have been properly served to a party in a legal matter.

9. Small Estate Affidavit

Used to settle small estates without going through the full probate process.

10. Affidavit of Domicile

Used to establish a person's legal residence, often for tax purposes or transferring securities.

Why Affidavits Need to Be Notarized

Notarization is a critical step in the Affidavit process. In most states — including Washington — Affidavits must be notarized to be legally valid. Notarization serves several important purposes:

• Verifies identity — The notary confirms that the affiant is who they claim to be.
• Confirms voluntariness — The notary ensures the affiant is signing voluntarily, without coercion.
• Prevents fraud — Notarization helps prevent forgery and false statements.
• Ensures legal validity — A properly notarized Affidavit is legally enforceable in court.

Without notarization, an Affidavit may be rejected by courts, government agencies, and other institutions — creating delays and complications when you need it most.
