Templates & Use Cases

Affidavit for Change of Name

Used when your name has been legally changed or misspelled in documents. This is mandatory for updating passports, PAN cards, and Aadhaar cards. Our tool ensures the standard "I, [Old Name], henceforth be known as [New Name]" format is used.

Proof of Residence / Address

Required when you lack standard address proof documents (like utility bills) for government applications. This self-declaration states your current permanent address under oath.

Marital Status Declaration

Often required for visa applications, marriage registration, or joint property purchases. This affidavit declares you are single, married, or divorced as of a specific date.

General Declaration

A flexible format for any other sworn statement, such as:

• Gap in education declarations.
• Loss of original documents (mark sheets, certificates).
• Income declarations for scholarships.

Making Your Affidavit Legally Valid

1. Print on Non-Judicial Stamp Paper: Depending on your state and purpose, print the first page on Stamp Paper of the appropriate value (usually ₹10, ₹20, or ₹50). Note: You can print the remaining pages on high-quality green legal paper or standard A4 white paper.
2. Verification & Signature: The Deponent must sign the document in the presence of an authority.
3. Notarization: Take the signed document to a Notary Public or an Oath Commissioner. They will attest the document with their seal and signature.

Pro Tip: Never sign the affidavit at home. Wait until you are in front of the Notary.
