Court Affidavit Assistance

About Court Affidavit Assistance

Banks, employers, educational institutions and government offices often ask for a simple affidavit, such as a name change declaration, an address proof affidavit or a self-declaration about income or relationship. These documents follow fairly standard formats, but they still need to be worded clearly, printed on the correct stamp paper where required and attested properly.

We help you prepare the draft based on the details you provide, arrange the appropriate stamp paper where required and coordinate attestation by a notary or oath commissioner. We are not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice or legal representation, and any matter involving a dispute, court proceedings or legal interpretation should be referred to an advocate.
