Affidavit vs Certificate — What's Different?
Key difference: Affidavit is a personal sworn statement — perjury if false. Used when no official document exists, e.g., no single certificate from home country → use Affidavit of Single Status. Certificate is an official document from authorities — e.g., single certificate from district, salary cert from employer, criminal record from police. More credible than Affidavit. Summary: if Certificate available → use Certificate. If not → Affidavit works. Some embassies specifically require Affidavit → follow their requirements.
Important Affidavit Precautions
Affidavit precautions: 1) Must sign in person before Notary — cannot delegate or send proxy. 2) Statements must be true — perjury carries both imprisonment and fines. 3) Valid 3-6 months — don't make too early. 4) Some embassies have specific formats — check before drafting. 5) Previously married/divorced — must include divorce decree, cannot make Single Status without evidence. 6) Names must match — include name change certificate if changed. Thai Notary Law verifies everything before signing.
