How to Write a Sworn Statement

Sworn statements persuade judges when they focus on facts, stay organized, and include the right legal language. SwornStatementPDF keeps the formatting in check so you can concentrate on the substance.

When to use this

• You are preparing a sworn declaration to support a motion or opposition and need it typed, clear, and ready to file quickly.
• A witness is willing to sign a sworn statement but needs guidance on what information to include and how to present it.
• You want to draft the statement once and reuse the template for future filings without wrestling with Word styles.

How to do it (fast)

1. Open SwornStatementPDF and complete the declarant's name, address, and case title so the document matches your caption.
2. Write the statement in chronological order, breaking paragraphs at logical points so the reader can follow the facts easily.
3. Toggle the perjury language on, unless your jurisdiction requires different wording—if so, add it in the statement body or as a final paragraph.
4. Enter the signing date, generate the PDF, and route it for signature—on paper or through your preferred e-sign service.

Why this helps

• Consistent formatting reinforces credibility and keeps clerks from questioning whether the statement meets requirements.
• Built-in perjury language saves you from copying and pasting boilerplate that might contain typos or outdated statutes.
• Because everything runs locally, you can draft sensitive statements without transmitting them online.
