## Overview

Sworn statements, statutory declarations, and verified statements are documents where the signer makes a formal declaration under oath or affirmation, witnessed by a notary. These are used extensively in legal proceedings, insurance claims, government filings, and administrative matters. The notary administers the oath or affirmation (a jurat) and certifies that the signer appeared, was properly identified, and swore to the truthfulness of the statement.

## When You Need This Notarized

- Insurance claims requiring a sworn proof of loss
- Court filings requiring verified statements
- Government applications requiring sworn declarations
- Dispute resolution and arbitration
- Workers' compensation claims

## What to Bring

- The prepared statement or declaration (unsigned)
- Valid government-issued photo ID
- Knowledge of the facts being sworn to

## Step-by-Step Process

1

Prepare your sworn statement with all facts included

2

Schedule a notary appointment

3

Bring the unsigned statement and valid photo ID

4

The notary will administer an oath or affirmation

5

Sign the statement in the notary's presence

6

The notary completes the jurat certificate and affixes their seal

## Important Notes

- Making false statements under oath constitutes perjury — a criminal offense
- A jurat (sworn statement) is different from an acknowledgment
- The notary does not verify the truth of your statement — only your identity and willingness to swear
- Some agencies require specific forms for sworn statements

## Cost

Standard notary fees apply ($2-$15 per signature) plus any mobile notary travel fees.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is the difference between a sworn statement and an affidavit?

They are essentially the same — both are written statements made under oath before a notary. 'Affidavit' is the more common legal term, while 'sworn statement' is used more broadly.

### Can I be charged with perjury for a sworn statement?

Yes. If you knowingly make false statements in a sworn statement or affidavit, you can be charged with perjury, which is a criminal offense.

### Does the notary verify if my statement is true?

No. The notary verifies your identity and administers the oath. They do not investigate or verify the truthfulness of your statement.
