What Is an Affidavit?

An affidavit is a written statement of facts confirmed by the oath or affirmation of the person making it (the “deponent”). It is a formal declaration made voluntarily and must be sworn before a notary public or magistrate to carry legal weight. Affidavits are admissible as evidence in courts and are accepted by government bodies, banks, and institutions.

• Device with camera and microphone for the video session

How to Notarize an Affidavit Online: Step-by-Step

Step 1: Draft Your Affidavit

Prepare your affidavit document in PDF format. The affidavit should clearly state the deponent's name, address, the facts being declared, and a declaration statement. If you need help with drafting, consult a legal professional.

Step 2: Register on EZNotary

Create your account at EZNotary.in. Complete Aadhaar eKYC verification by entering your Aadhaar number and the OTP sent to your linked mobile. This is a one-time process per account.

Step 3: Upload the Affidavit and Book a Session

Upload your affidavit PDF, select “Affidavit” as the document type, and book either an instant session (connect immediately with an available notary) or a scheduled session at a convenient time.

Step 4: Join the Video Session

Join the secure video call with your assigned EZNotary-certified notary. The notary will verify your identity, ask you to declare the contents of the affidavit, and confirm your voluntary agreement to the statement.

Step 5: Sign with Aadhaar eSign

After the verbal declaration, you will receive an SMS/email link to sign the affidavit using your Aadhaar OTP through the Protean eSign platform. This is your legally valid digital signature.

Step 6: Notary Attests and Seals

The notary attests the affidavit, affirming that the deponent appeared before them and made the declaration voluntarily. The official digital seal is applied to complete the notarisation.

Step 7: Receive and Download

Your notarised affidavit is emailed to you instantly and saved in your EZNotary dashboard. Download it in PDF format whenever you need it.
