affidavit help

What should the letters of Affidavits look like for the two individuals who attest my marriage is legitimate? Just a formal letter stating what they've witnessed between us? Do they need to be notarized or anything?

 

Thank you!

Instead of two affidavits that could be written and notarized by someone who may or may not know anything about your marriage, you should send in other stronger evidence ie bank statements with both you and your spouses names on it, utility bills with one or both of your names in it, life insurance with your spouse named as the beneficiary, proof you both live at the same address etc.

There are a ton on evidence you can use to show a bonafide marriage other than an affidavit from random people saying you have a legitimate marriage.

examples can be found here:

however, affidavits are very weak examples of a bonafide relationship. You want solid examples such as financial comingling, tax, bank records, utility statements, credit cards, loans, etc.

 

They do not need to be notarized. The fact they do not need to be notarized should tell you how little they matter.

Thank you! I thought it was required. I just want to send as much as possible!
