Civil court, small claims & debts
Affidavits a civil or small claims file needs — proof that a document was served, a general affidavit on Form 14A, the affidavit that starts enforcement of a judgment — and the sworn statements about a debt that a creditor, a collector or a court asks for.

Statutory declarationsOverview
When you might need one
Each court prescribes its own affidavit of service: Form 8A in the Small Claims Court, Form 16B under the Rules of Civil Procedure, Form 146A in the Federal Courts. The person who actually served the document swears it, naming what was served, on whom, when, where and how. A lawyer or paralegal who served the document files a certificate of service instead. The general affidavit on Form 14A carries any other evidence a civil motion needs.
All of these are affidavits, so they are commissioned online by video under O. Reg. 431/20 or in person, after the deponent shows government photo ID. Bring the served document and any courier or mail receipt so the exhibits can be marked. A notary commissions the oath and does not advise on the claim; a filing deadline, a limitation period or a contested enforcement step belongs with a lawyer or a licensed paralegal.
