The form below is a free, blank affidavit form in Microsoft Word format for downloading. The blank affidavit template follows the essential setup of an affidavit first outlined in Bacon’s Abridgement (Matthew Bacon, “A New Abridgement of the Law”, London 1832), but with a neat layout to incorporate modern word processing styles.
Affidavits such as this one have a long history of being used as a manner of given sworn evidence in court proceedings, and an affidavit in this format will be recognised as effective in most common law legal systems today provided it is correctly sworn before a witness authorised to administer an oath. However most courts will have their own form of affidavit which may have additional matters included (often headers identifying the proceeding number and so on), and you should use the affidavit appropriate for that court if relevant.
