Birth Affidavit

An Affidavit of Birth is a sworn statement, made under oath, attesting to the facts of a person’s birth. It is often used when an official birth certificate is unavailable, incomplete, or was registered late.

It entails: :

• Sworn Statement : The person making the affidavit (the affiant) declares that the information provided is true and accurate to the best of their knowledge. This is usually done before a notary public or another official authorized to administer oaths.
•  Details of Birth : The affidavit typically includes crucial information about the birth, such as:
  o The full name of the person whose birth is being attested to.
  o Date of birth.
  o Place of birth (city, state, country, and often the name of the hospital or location).
  o Full names of both parents (if known).
  o Affiant’s Knowledge : The affidavit should explain how the affiant has personal knowledge of the birth. This is important for its credibility. Often, the affiant is a parent, older sibling, or another close relative who was present at or shortly after the birth. It could also be the attending physician or midwife
• Reason for Affidavit : The document often states why a birth certificate is not available or why the affidavit is being provided.
