thanks for this info/template.Mauser1905 wrote:Ok beat this price. I prepared the draft (based on the templates I took from various locations on web) and notary public charged only £20 to seal, stamp and sign.
I have pasted excerpts from my Affidavit for everyone's use. This is addressed to CGI Edinburgh and by a married couple for their minor child who never had Indian passport and born British. Every case may have some differences and the affidavit contents need to be tweaked to reflect such scenarios.
Also if anybody likes the original MS word proforma, send me your email either in PM or here and I will send.
Also it is standard practice for UK Public notary to make two separate affidavits in such a case, but you have to mention that the concerned embassy/consulate wants this as a "joint affidavit" and both parties are to sign on single affidavit in front of notary public.
Also dont forget to take along your original Passports, marriage certificate, minor's birth certificate and utility bill for the address, which the notary likes to make a photocopy and keep for their office records.
Also make sure you leave sufficient space under the last line for notary public to put his/her seal, signature and stamps. I recommend 1/3rd of the page from bottom is left blank.
Plain white paper to be used for printing the affidavit. No stamp paper required in the UK.
Also notary usually sign in blue ink, however I asked for black ink signature, just to be safer side from Consulate perspective! Original Joint affidavit goes to consulate/embassy in support of OCI application, no harm in sending a photocopy also in addition to the original.
