  2. Write in the first person. You're in charge of the statement of your affidavit letter, so write only in the first person and utilize an active voice. Indicate your complete name along with the complete names of everyone involved. Be aware that any uncertainty is a setback you should eliminate.

  4. List the important points you are certain about. Affidavits must only consist of appropriate information and facts. Don't hurry to draw any conclusions. Instead, describe the specific situation as you saw it, list everything you listened to, and confirm the details with evidence, if possible.
  5. Sign and notarize it. It's a legal document, to enforce your sworn statement, you have to sign it. Notarization is required too. Visit a notary office to meet them in person, ask them to look at your form and confirm your identity. Then, sign papers and notarize them at the same time.
