Not long ago, getting an affidavit made meant a trip to a typist's stall outside the court complex, dictating your details, waiting while they typed it on an old-format printer, and hoping they got the wording (and the stamp paper value) right. Today, that entire drafting step can be done online on AffidavitWala.com in a few minutes — the physical steps of printing on stamp paper and getting it notarized still can't be skipped, but they're now the fast part.

Here's exactly how the process works on AffidavitWala.com, end to end.

Step 1: Choose the right affidavit type on AffidavitWala.com

Affidavits aren't one-size-fits-all — the wording for an address proof affidavit is different from an income affidavit or a name change affidavit, because each is making a different sworn statement. Start by identifying exactly why you need the affidavit (which office asked for it, and what they said it should cover), then pick the matching type from the AffidavitWala.com services page. If you're not sure, our guides page breaks down what each of the 20+ supported types is for.

Step 2: Fill in your details online

AffidavitWala.com asks for the standard fields every affidavit needs — your full name, father's or husband's name, age, and address — plus any details specific to the affidavit type you picked (for an income affidavit, that's your occupation and monthly income; for a lost document affidavit, details of what was lost and when, and so on).

This is also where you choose the language. AffidavitWala.com generates affidavits in English, Hindi, and Marathi, with the deponent-facing content automatically composed in the selected language — including an offline typing-suggestion tool that helps you get Hindi/Marathi spellings right as you type in English.

Step 3: Review and edit the generated wording

Once generated, AffidavitWala.com shows you an editable preview — not just a locked PDF — so you can review each clause, fix anything that doesn't quite match your situation, add a point that's missing, or remove one that doesn't apply. Treat this step as your last chance to catch an error before it's printed on paper you've paid stamp duty on.

Step 4: Download and print on the correct stamp paper

The first page of the PDF AffidavitWala.com generates is sized (21.7 × 30 cm) to print directly onto purchased non-judicial stamp paper — the physical paper with the government's pre-printed design and denomination. You'll need to buy this separately, either from a licensed stamp vendor or (in states that support it) through e-stamping. The required value varies by state and, sometimes, by the purpose of the affidavit — commonly somewhere between ₹10 and ₹100, though it can be higher for certain declarations. Always confirm the current value with your local stamp vendor or the relevant government office, since state rules do change.

When printing, use "Actual Size" or "100%" in your print dialog — not "Fit to Page" — so the typed content lands exactly where it should on the pre-printed stamp paper.

Step 5: Sign and get it notarized

Sign the affidavit in the deponent's signature block, then take it — along with a passport-size photo if the format calls for one, and a valid ID — to a Notary Public or Executive Magistrate for attestation. This is the step that actually makes it a legally valid affidavit: they verify your identity, witness your signature, and apply their seal and signature. This step can't be done online — it requires your physical presence — but because AffidavitWala.com already got the format and stamp paper sizing right, there's nothing left to fix at the notary's desk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the entire affidavit process, including notarization, be done online?

The drafting and formatting can be done entirely online on AffidavitWala.com. Notarization — the step where a Notary Public or Executive Magistrate witnesses your signature — currently requires your physical presence in most of India, so it can't be completed online.

Is an affidavit generated on AffidavitWala.com legally valid?

Yes, as long as the final document is printed on the correct stamp paper, signed by the deponent, and properly notarized. AffidavitWala.com generates properly formatted, commonly-accepted wording — what matters for legal validity is the physical steps that follow.

How much does it cost to make an affidavit on AffidavitWala.com?

Generating and drafting the affidavit online is free with AffidavitWala.com. The costs you'll separately incur are the stamp paper itself (typically ₹10–₹100 depending on state and purpose) plus the notary's attestation fee, which varies by location.
