Making important legal documents

Affidavits

How to download an affidavit form

There is not one universal affidavit form you must use. The form you use depends on the:

  • court or tribunal
  • type of proceeding
  • purpose of the affidavit.

Visit the Queensland Courts website to find the affidavit form relevant to your situation—and other forms used in most courts in Queensland.

You can also find forms for a specific court or tribunal where your affidavit is being filed.

If you're unsure which form to use

Contact the relevant court or tribunal or seek legal advice if you're not sure which form to use.
