What to bring
Papers to bring
- Identity proof of both deponents, such as Aadhaar or a voter card (photocopies; the originals to show)
- One recent passport-size photograph of each deponent, to paste in the boxes and sign across
- Whatever identity papers the person you identify has, and the application the affidavit is for
- The office's own format, if it has one
Where to go
Both deponents sign before an Oath Commissioner or Notary, each across his or her own photograph; the affidavit then goes with the identified person's application to the bank, passport office or other office.
Fee
The e-Stamp paper and the Oath Commissioner's or Notary's fee are paid at the counter; ask there for today's amounts.
Good to know
- Both deponents must come in person, and neither should be related to the person identified, as the affidavit says.
- Some offices also want the identified person's own photograph, attested by both deponents; ask before you go.
- The office may contact either deponent to confirm; give addresses where you can be reached.
Papers and fees can change. Check with the office before you go. Guidance only, not yet reviewed by a lawyer.
