📄 Start Your ApplicationA clear explanation of what an affidavit is and why it matters in UAE law.
An affidavit is a written statement of facts that the person making it (the deponent) swears or affirms to be true. It is signed in the presence of a notary public or other authorized official, and the signature is witnessed and stamped. Once notarized, an affidavit becomes a legally recognized document that can be submitted to courts, government departments, and other authorities.
