Affidavits

A witness for an affidavit

An affidavit under the Oaths Act 1867 in Queensland must be signed in the presence of an authorised witness.

Who can witness your affidavit depends on:

• how it is signed—on paper or electronically
• how the affidavit is witnessed—in person or by audio visual link.

See the Who can witness a statutory declaration or affidavit in Queensland fact sheet for more information.
