Affidavit Services in Hamilton | Mobile Commissioner & Notary Services
WHAT IS AN AFFIDAVIT?
An affidavit is a written statement that a person swears or affirms to be true in the presence of a Commissioner of Oaths or Notary Public.
Affidavits are commonly used for:
-legal matters
-court proceedings
-immigration applications
- insurance claims
-government documentation
- financial matters
- identity verification
Because affidavits are sworn legal statements, they must generally be signed in the presence of the Commissioner or Notary.
