The Most Common Types of Affidavits

An Affidavit is a written testimony given under oath. Affidavits are only valid when given freely, without any coercion. To provide a legal affidavit, an individual needs to be of sound mind (lucid) and typical of legal age (over 18).

Establishing residency can be necessary for school placement, jobs, insurance, loans, taxes, and other services. This type of affidavit is a sworn account of where an individual, couple, or family live.
