An affidavit is a written statement of facts that is sworn or affirmed to be true and correct by someone who has personal knowledge of the information. When an affidavit needs to be notarized, it means that a Notary Public (an official qualified to attest sworn statements) has witnessed the signing of the document and verified the identity of the person signing it. By having an affidavit notarized, you are guaranteeing to your customers, clients, and partners that the statement is true and accurate. This helps create trust in any business transaction or agreement.
