First-Class Magistrate Affidavit & Attestation

A first-class magistrate affidavit is a sworn statement attested by an executive magistrate rather than a notary. Some universities, recruitment boards, courts and government departments insist on it for gap years, name changes, lost documents and character declarations. We draft the affidavit in the format your form needs, put it on e-stamp paper and arrange the magistrate's attestation, so you don't spend days finding the right office.

What is magistrate attestation?

When a notary isn't enough

Most affidavits are accepted with notary attestation. Some authorities, however, specify an affidavit sworn before a first class magistrate or an executive magistrate. In practice this is attestation by an officer such as the SDM or tehsildar acting as a magistrate.

A magistrate certificate or magistrate attestation carries the magistrate's signature, seal and date. Using a notary when the form says magistrate is one of the most common reasons an application is rejected. We read the form's wording first and tell you exactly which attestation it needs.
