Document background
The Statement Affidavit is a fundamental legal document in the Philippine legal system, used to formally declare facts or circumstances under oath. This document type is commonly required in various situations such as legal proceedings, administrative requirements, business transactions, or personal matters where formal sworn statements are necessary. A Statement Affidavit must be executed in compliance with Philippine notarial laws and regulations, particularly the 2004 Rules on Notarial Practice. The document typically includes the affiant's personal information, the sworn statements, and must be notarized to be considered valid. It serves as a legally binding document that can be used as evidence in court proceedings or for other official purposes, with the affiant being subject to penalties for perjury if false statements are made.
