What Is an Affidavit?

An affidavit is a written statement of facts confirmed on oath or by affirmation before an authorised person. The person making the affidavit is known as the deponent.

You can swear an oath or choose a non-religious affirmation, which has the same legal effect. An affidavit can be sworn or affirmed before a solicitor, notary or Commissioner for Oaths. 

Before signing, you should understand the document fully and ensure its contents are accurate.

Swearing an Affidavit Before a Solicitor in London

Our affidavit service in Wimbledon is available to clients who need an authorised person to administer an oath or affirmation for a suitable, prepared document.

During your appointment, you will confirm the truth of the affidavit by swearing an oath or making an affirmation. You will sign as directed, and the solicitor or Commissioner for Oaths will complete the relevant attestation section.

Please leave your affidavit unsigned before your appointment. 

When Might You Need an Affidavit?

Depending on the receiving organisation’s requirements, an affidavit may be requested to:

• Confirm identity, names or discrepancies between documents.
• Explain personal circumstances or family relationships.
• Provide evidence in proceedings where affidavit evidence is required.
• Support an inheritance, estate or administrative matter.
• Confirm facts for an overseas authority or application.

The correct document depends on its purpose. Some organisations require a statutory declaration, witness statement or notarised document instead. Obtain their instructions before booking your appointment.

Affidavit Drafting and Administering Services in London

Do you need an affidavit prepared, or an existing affidavit sworn or affirmed before a solicitor? Premium Solicitors provides affidavit drafting and administering services in London, helping clients prepare clear statements of fact and complete the appropriate formalities.

If you have been asked to provide an affidavit but do not have a completed document, you may need our affidavit drafting service. If another solicitor or the receiving organisation has already prepared your affidavit, you may only need an appointment to swear or affirm it.

Drafting and administering an affidavit are separate services. Where independence requirements apply, the affidavit must be sworn or affirmed before a suitable independent professional. We will explain the appropriate next steps for your document.

Affidavit Drafting Service in London

A well-prepared affidavit should explain the relevant facts clearly, follow the required format and identify supporting documents appropriately. Our affidavit drafting service in London can help you turn your account and supporting information into a structured document for its intended purpose.

Subject to agreeing the scope of our instructions, we can assist with:

• Reviewing the receiving organisation’s instructions or prescribed template.
• Taking your account of the relevant events and circumstances.
• Organising the facts into clear, numbered paragraphs.
• Distinguishing facts within your own knowledge from information obtained from other sources, where required.
• Identifying and referring to supporting documents or exhibits.
• Preparing the appropriate heading and execution section.
• Providing a draft for you to review before it is finalised.

Drafting is based on your instructions and the information you provide. You remain responsible for confirming that the statement accurately reflects your evidence.

Administering Oaths and Affirmations in London

If you already have a suitable, completed affidavit, Premium Solicitors can assess whether we can administer the oath or affirmation at our Wimbledon office.

During your appointment, you will formally confirm the truth of your affidavit and sign as directed. The solicitor or Commissioner for Oaths will then complete the relevant attestation section, commonly called the jurat.

Please bring your affidavit unsigned, together with your identification and any exhibits. An appointment to administer an oath or affirmation does not itself include drafting, substantive amendments or legal advice about the underlying matter.

How Our London Affidavit Service Works

1. Contact Us About Your Document

Explain why you need the affidavit and where it will be used. Where possible, provide the unsigned document and any instructions from the court, solicitor or receiving authority.

2. Confirm Your Appointment and Fee

We will confirm whether the requested service is suitable for an appointment with us, together with availability, identification requirements and the applicable fee.

3. Attend Our Wimbledon Office

Bring your complete affidavit, identification and any exhibits. Make sure you understand the document and are satisfied that its contents are accurate.

4. Swear or Affirm Your Affidavit

You will swear an oath or make an affirmation and sign the affidavit as directed. The authorised person will then complete the relevant section.

5. Submit Your Completed Document

You can then provide the completed affidavit to the organisation requesting it. For overseas use, check whether further formalities are required before submission.

Affidavits for Use Abroad

If your affidavit is intended for use outside the UK, ask the receiving authority exactly how it must be executed.

Some organisations accept an affidavit sworn before a solicitor or Commissioner for Oaths. Others require a notary public, an apostille or additional formalities. GOV.UK advises checking whether the receiving organisation requires documents signed by a particular professional and whether legalisation is necessary. 

Please provide these instructions before booking so we can confirm whether our affidavit service is appropriate.

Affidavit Services: Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about swearing or affirming an affidavit in London, including what to bring, appointment fees and requirements for overseas documents. Premium Solicitors provides an affidavit service at our Wimbledon office, subject to the document and applicable requirements.

Where can I swear an affidavit in London?

You can contact Premium Solicitors to arrange an appointment to swear or affirm an affidavit at our Wimbledon office in London. Provide the unsigned document and any instructions from the receiving organisation so we can confirm whether we can assist, the applicable fee and appointment availability.

What is an affidavit?

An affidavit is a written statement of facts formally confirmed on oath or by affirmation before an authorised person. It may be required for legal proceedings or by an organisation seeking formal confirmation of particular facts. You must understand the document and ensure its contents are accurate before signing. 

Who can administer an oath or affirmation for an affidavit?

An affidavit can be sworn or affirmed before an appropriately authorised solicitor, Commissioner for Oaths or notary public. The appropriate professional depends on the document and the receiving organisation’s requirements. Contact Premium Solicitors before booking to confirm whether our London affidavit service is suitable. 

Can I affirm an affidavit instead of swearing a religious oath?

Yes. You can make a non-religious affirmation instead of swearing an oath. An affirmation has the same legal effect as an oath. Tell the solicitor or Commissioner for Oaths your preference at the appointment. 

What should I bring to my affidavit appointment in London?

Bring your complete, unsigned affidavit, current photographic identification and any documents referred to as exhibits. You should also bring the receiving organisation’s instructions when booking. Premium Solicitors will confirm the identification and document requirements for your appointment.

Should I sign my affidavit before the appointment?

No. Please leave your affidavit unsigned and sign it as directed during your appointment. If you have already signed it, tell us before attending so we can explain what is needed. Avoid making further changes without checking the requirements.

How much does an affidavit service in London cost?

Contact Premium Solicitors to confirm the fee for your affidavit appointment. Tell us how many people need to swear or affirm the document and whether it includes exhibits. Drafting, amendments and legal advice are separate from administering an oath or affirmation and should be discussed when booking.

How long does it take to swear an affidavit?

A straightforward appointment for a complete, prepared affidavit can usually be brief. The time needed depends on the document, the number of people signing and any exhibits or additional arrangements. Send your document in advance and mention any deadline so we can advise on availability.

Can I book an urgent or same-day affidavit appointment in London?

Contact Premium Solicitors to ask about urgent or same-day availability at our Wimbledon office. Explain your deadline and provide the unsigned document where possible. Urgent appointments depend on availability and whether your document is ready and suitable for the requested service.

Does an affidavit appointment include drafting or legal advice?

An appointment to swear or affirm an affidavit does not automatically include drafting, checking the legal merits of its contents or advice about the underlying matter. If you need help preparing the document or understanding its legal implications, tell Premium Solicitors before booking so we can confirm whether we can assist under a separate service.

Can I use an affidavit sworn in London overseas?

This depends on the country and receiving authority. Some organisations accept an affidavit sworn before a solicitor or Commissioner for Oaths; others require a notary public, an apostille or additional formalities. Obtain the receiving authority’s requirements before booking and provide them to Premium Solicitors. 

Does my affidavit need an apostille?

An apostille may be required if an overseas authority asks for your affidavit to be legalised. It is separate from swearing or affirming the document. Ask the receiving organisation whether legalisation is necessary and whether the affidavit must be signed by a particular professional before arranging your appointment. 

Is swearing an affidavit the same as notarisation?

No. Administering an oath or affirmation and notarising a document are distinct services. In England and Wales, a solicitor is not automatically a notary public. If the receiving authority specifically requires a notarised affidavit, tell us before booking so we can confirm whether the requested appointment is appropriate.

Can I bring an affidavit with exhibits?

Yes, subject to confirming the document requirements in advance. Exhibits are supporting documents referred to in an affidavit. Provide the complete affidavit and all exhibits when enquiring so we can confirm what to bring and the applicable fee. Keep the exhibits clearly organised and consistent with the references in the affidavit.

What is the difference between an affidavit and a statutory declaration?

An affidavit is confirmed on oath or by affirmation, while a statutory declaration uses a prescribed form of declaration to confirm facts. They serve different purposes and should not be treated as interchangeable. Ask the receiving organisation which document it requires before booking.

Can more than one person swear an affidavit?

Some affidavits are made jointly by more than one person, depending on the required format. Tell us how many people are making the affidavit when booking. Each person must complete the appropriate formalities, and we will confirm attendance, identification and fee requirements in advance.
