What Is An Affidavit?

It is likely that every person recollects at least one instance of being asked to submit an affidavit. The reasons may be diverse, but the result is the same- Producing an affidavit gives increased credibility to claims made by a person.

There is clearly a difference between a mere letter claiming that a person has lost his original certificates and an Affidavit, where a person swears before a magistrate or a judicial officer in written format, that he has lost his original certificates and is willing to surrender the original in case he retrieves it. The latter option holds the person liable to face any legal consequences in the event of his swearing of untruths or making or misrepresentations.

Affidavit Defined

The term Affidavit refers to a sworn statement in written format made especially under an oath or affirmation before an authorized officer or Magistrate.

In other words, an Affidavit is a declaration of facts made in writing and sworn before a person having the authority to administer an oath. All affidavits are verified statements and printed on Stamp papers of different denominations.

All affidavits need to be drawn up in the first person and should contain facts and not inferences. A person who makes an affidavit is called a Deponent or an Affiant. The person who has authority to attest a certificate may be a Magistrate who may, in turn, be either a Judicial or an Executive Magistrate, a Notary Public or a Commissioner of Oaths depending upon the affidavit which needs to be attested. Indians living abroad can swear affidavits before Consular officers posted in Indian missions.

Who Can Create An Affidavit?

In order to create an affidavit, an individual should have attained the majority and should be in a position to understand the nature of the contents sworn. In other words, the person should not be insane or incapacitated to the extent of not knowing the meaning of the statements mentioned in the affidavit.

Essential Features Of An Affidavit

• An Affidavit should be in writing
  Since an Affidavit is used as a record in court, it has to be in writing. This is to make the person who makes the affidavit accountable for the contents sworn in the affidavit. It also deters people from making false claims since they amount to punishable offenses.
• It must be a declaration made by an individual
  An Affidavit can be created only by an individual, and not by any artificial persons like Companies and other associations or groups of individuals.
• It must relate to facts alone
  An Affidavit should mention only the facts according to the best knowledge and belief of the deponent. It should not be based on mere inferences or assumptions.
• It must be made in the first person
  Affidavits cannot be created on behalf of other persons. The purpose is to prevent declaring of things beyond the reasonable knowledge of a person.  It is the duty of the deponent to state facts which are known to him/her. However, it is subject to the exception where affidavits are sworn on behalf of minor children or insane individuals.
• It must be sworn before an officer or magistrate who is authorized to administer an oath.
  An affidavit can be sworn only before a person having authority to attest it. For example, a name change affidavit may be attested either by a Notary Public or by an Executive or Judicial magistrate for documents created in India; while an affidavit for lost or damaged passport can be attested only by a Judicial or Executive Magistrate and it is beyond the authority of a Notary Public.
