About this document
- 01
What is this affidavit?
It is a sworn statement — also called an identity guarantor affidavit or third-party identity affidavit — in which a person who genuinely knows another individual confirms that individual’s identity and details before a notary public or commissioner for taking affidavits.
It is used where someone lacks the usual documents and a trusted person can vouch for them.
- 02
When you might need one
It helps confirm identity when standard ID is unavailable.
- A person lacks the usual identification and needs someone to confirm who they are.
- An institution accepts a third party’s sworn confirmation of identity.
- You can vouch for the identity and particulars of someone you know well.
- 03
What to include
State how long and how well you have known the person, the particulars you confirm (such as their name and date of birth), and any identification you have seen. Confirm the details are true to the best of your knowledge.
Each institution sets its own rules; confirm a third-party affidavit is acceptable before relying on it.
