Affidavits (Affirmations or Oaths)
We can witness you sign your affidavit and administer the oath (a religious statement) or affirmation (a non-religious statement) confirming that the statement contained within is the truth.
Oaths and affirmations are legally equivalent - which you choose to make is up to you, but it must be meaningful to you and binding on your conscience.
If you choose to swear an oath, we ask that you provide your own religious text or item of religious significance.
If you need or prefer to make an oath or affirmation in a language other than English, you must be accompanied by an independent translator.

An affidavit is a legally binding statement of fact to be presented as evidence in Australian court or other legal proceedings. We strongly encourage you to seek legal advice before attending your appointment. Your lawyer should provide clear instructions regarding what is needed.
We also encourage you to confirm requirements with the receiving authority. If your affidavit contains attachments and/or is more than one page, we will bind the document. This may be unacceptable to some receiving authorities, meaning you may need to explore alternative options.
If you arrive without clear instructions or something you need, it's likely we won’t be able to proceed and you will need to make another appointment.
You will also need to bring with you, your Australian or foreign passport or other forms of government-issued ID bearing or linking your name, photograph and signature.
