Affidavit Services North York

At Notary Lawyer North York, we provide reliable and professional affidavit services for individuals, families, and businesses. If you’ve been told you need to “swear an affidavit” but aren’t sure where to begin, our licensed notary lawyers and Commissioners of Oaths are here to guide you through the process from start to finish.

An affidavit is a written legal statement of facts, confirmed by oath or solemn affirmation, where the person signing (known as the affiant or deponent) swears that the information is true. Affidavits are commonly used in court proceedings, but they are also required for many personal, immigration, and business purposes.

What is an Affidavit and Why is it Important?

Affidavits serve as legally binding declarations that can be used as evidence in legal, administrative, or official matters. Since affidavits are sworn statements, they carry significant weight and consequences if found to be false.

Common uses of affidavits include:

Family matters – marriage licenses, proof of identity, proof of relationship, or child travel consent
Immigration – sponsorship applications, residency status, or supporting documents for visas
Court proceedings – providing testimony, confirming facts, or supporting claims (though legal advice is required in complex cases)
Business and financial purposes – confirming shareholder agreements, verifying contracts, or proving ownership of assets
International matters – proving marital status or residency for use abroad, often combined with authentication and legalization

In today’s interconnected world, notarization helps provide peace of mind when contracts and agreements are signed, whether across the street or across the globe.

Key Requirements for Affidavits

All statements must be true and based on facts—not personal opinions.
The content depends on the reason the affidavit is being requested.
Supporting documents (called exhibits) must be properly attached, referenced, and marked by the Commissioner or Notary.
The affidavit must be signed in front of a licensed Notary Public or Commissioner of Oaths, who will witness the swearing or affirmation.

How Notary Lawyer North York Assists You

Preparing Affidavits

We help draft straightforward affidavits where no legal advice is required, such as marriage license affidavits, immigration affidavits, or proof of residence.
For affidavits required for court cases or legal disputes, you must consult a lawyer for legal drafting. However, we can notarize and swear those affidavits once prepared.

Swearing or Affirming Affidavits

Our notary lawyers and Commissioners of Oaths witness your signature and confirm that you are making the statement willingly and truthfully.
If we prepare your affidavit, swearing or affirming it is included as part of the service.
If you already have a prepared affidavit, you can bring it to our office, and we will administer the oath or affirmation.

Handling Exhibits and Supporting Documents

Many affidavits require exhibits, such as copies of passports, marriage certificates, contracts, or financial statements.
Our notaries can certify true copies of documents and attach them as exhibits.
Exhibits are carefully marked and referenced to ensure the affidavit is legally valid.
