The Character Witness Affidavit is a crucial legal document in England and Wales that provides formal testimony about an individual's character, reputation, and conduct. It is commonly used in court proceedings, immigration applications, professional licensing, and other situations where formal character verification is required. The document must be sworn or affirmed before an authorized official and contains specific details about the relationship between the deponent and the subject, along with concrete examples of character observations. The affidavit must comply with strict legal requirements regarding format, content, and authentication to be considered valid evidence.
