AFFIDAVIT OF CORRECTION TEMPLATE FAQ
What is an affidavit of correction?
An Affidavit of Correction is a sworn statement used to correct a minor clerical or factual error in a document or record — such as a misspelled name, incorrect date, wrong address, or typo in an identifying number. It is commonly used for titles, deeds, notarized documents, business filings, and other official records where a simple edit is not possible.
When should you use it?
Use it when the error is minor and the intent of the original document is unchanged. If the error changes the substance (price, parties, obligations), you may need an amended agreement or a re-signing. This template focuses on non-material corrections.
What information should be included?
Include: the document being corrected (title, date, parties), where it was filed/used (if applicable), the exact incorrect text, the corrected text, and a statement that all other terms remain unchanged. This template includes a simple “before/after” format without using tables.
Do you need notarization?
Often yes, especially if the corrected document was recorded or notarized. This template includes a notarization section and an optional witness section.
Can you attach evidence?
Yes. Attach a copy of the original document and any supporting proof (ID, record copy, correspondence). This template includes an attachments section.
