Document background
A Witness Affidavit is a crucial legal document used within the UAE legal system to provide formal sworn testimony in various legal proceedings. This document type is governed by UAE Federal Law No. 10 of 1992 (Law of Evidence) and must be executed in compliance with local procedural requirements. Witness Affidavits are commonly used in civil disputes, criminal cases, commercial matters, and administrative proceedings where formal testimony is required. The document must be prepared in or translated into Arabic, properly authenticated by a UAE Notary Public or authorized legal authority, and contain specific declarations regarding the truth of the statements made. It serves as a permanent record of witness testimony and can be used in court proceedings or other legal matters where formal evidence is required.
