Affidavit

An affidavit is a voluntary declaration of facts or oath, made by an individual. It is usually considered a stronger statement, since it is attested to in front of a notary public or someone else authorized to administer such an oath.

An affidavit often contains language like this:

    I solemnly swear that the foregoing statements are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.
