An affidavit is a written declaration of truth made voluntarily by an affiant or deponent under the oath or affirmation of a person who is legally authorized to administer the oath or affirmation. A taker of oaths, such as a notary public or commissioner of oaths, witnesses such a statement as to the legitimacy of the affiant's signature. A legal affidavit is a kind of certified statement or showing, or in other words, it contains a verification, which implies it is delivered under oath under the penalty of perjury, which acts as evidence for its truth and is required in court proceedings. Depending on who wrote the document, affidavits can be written in the first person or third person. The typical components of a document include a commencement, an attestation clause, and the signatures of the author and witness. A caption with a venue and title in regard to judicial proceedings will be included if an affidavit is notarized or authenticated. In some situations, a preamble is appended to the document, attesting to the fact that the affiant personally came before the authenticating body.
