Need help notarizing a sworn statement? Our mobile affidavits notary public service ensures your written declarations are legally notarized and fully compliant. At SLO Notary, we make it fast and easy to notarize affidavits across the Central Coast—at your home, office, or preferred location.
What Is an Affidavit and Why Does It Need Notarization?
An affidavit is a written statement of fact that’s voluntarily made under oath. In California, for an affidavit to be legally valid, it must be signed in front of a notary public who verifies your identity and administers the oath. We serve as your impartial witness, ensuring the document was signed truthfully and willingly.
As a trusted affidavits notary public, we help with all types of affidavits, including:
- Personal affidavits
- Affidavits of residency
- Financial affidavits
- Affidavits for court or legal use
- Affidavits related to family, property, or insurance claims
Common Types of Affidavits We Notarize
Affidavits are used across many different industries and life situations. Here are just a few of the most common documents we help clients notarize every day:
- Affidavit of Identity – Used to confirm someone’s legal identity for DMV, banking, or legal purposes.
- Affidavit of Support – Common in immigration cases to confirm financial sponsorship.
- Affidavit of Residence – Required by schools, banks, or courts to verify where someone lives.
- Affidavit of Heirship – Used in estate proceedings when someone passes away without a will.
- Affidavit of Loss or Damage – Typically used for lost checks, titles, or personal items.
We also notarize death affidavits related to inheritance or insurance claims, as well as jurats when a sworn statement is required without the full structure of an affidavit.
Do Affidavits Require Oaths or Affirmations?
Yes—affidavits are formal, sworn documents. That means the signer must either swear an oath or affirm the truth of their statement in the presence of a notary. At SLO Notary, we’re authorized to administer both oaths and affirmations, depending on your preference or the document’s requirements.
