An affidavit is a written statement, made on oath or affirmation, about facts that are personally known to the person making the affidavit, the ''deponent''. Because an affidavit is sworn to be true or is affirmed to be true, it is evidence of the facts that it sets out, just as if the facts were given in oral evidence at a trial. Affidavits are formal legal documents.
