Document produced by sworn statements?

• A. Affidavit
• B. Deposition
• C. Affidavit of Service
• D. Statement of Complaint

Answer: (A)

An affidavit is a written statement of facts sworn to be true before an authorized official, like a notary. Because the statements are made under oath and captured in a written document, it is the classic example of a document produced from sworn statements and is routinely used to present evidence or support claims in court.

A deposition, while also sworn, records oral testimony and is committed to a transcript rather than a single sworn written statement. An affidavit of service is a sworn statement about the act of delivering documents, a specific use of sworn statements rather than the general form. A statement of complaint isn’t a standard term for a sworn written statement of facts. So the best match for a document produced by sworn statements is the affidavit.
