Third Party Affidavit

[Humtum 0]

Can someone share a template for the bona-fide marriage affidavit by the third party (Friends/relatives). Do we need to get these Third Party Affidavit in notarized form or in plain paper is fine?

Thanx

Keep in mind a notary simply verifies signatures. They have zero to do with content. It serves no purpose to use a notary on such documents.

Hi Humtum,

A template for a third party affidavit can be found at this link: http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/Affidavit

Just copy and paste the link into your browser. My hubby and I literally copied and pasted the third party affidavit and just amended it with the appropriate details to fit our situation.

There is no need to use any special type of paper, we just used regular printing paper. My hubby and all of our friends and family who undertook affidavits, swore to them in front of a Notary, who then signed and stamped/sealed the affidavits. You can typically find a notary in your local town hall or town court, or if that's not near you then even try in a bank near you. We found our notary in my hubby's local HSBC and Key Bank. And the service was free of charge.

Hope this helps.
