An affidavit is a sworn, legally binding written statement made under oath before a notary public or authorised authority. It is used to formally declare facts in legal, personal, or business matters.
Affidavit Attestation is the official authentication process that verifies the affidavit’s legitimacy, including the signature and seal of the issuing authority. This process becomes essential when the affidavit is intended for use in a foreign country.

The affidavit is first notarised by a certified notary public to confirm the authenticity of the signature and content. This is a mandatory preliminary step before further government authentication.
