Sworn Statement Form
Use a Sworn Statement template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What a sworn statement form does
A Sworn Statement Form is a written declaration in which a person states that specific facts are true under oath or affirmation. Businesses, contractors, claimants, and government agencies may use it to document payment status, project facts, ownership, eligibility, or another legally relevant assertion. The signer identifies the subject, supplies factual details, dates the statement, and signs before any required witness or notary. State law and the receiving organization determine whether notarization, supporting records, or a prescribed template is required. Electronic signing may support business transactions when ESIGN and applicable state law permit it.
Who uses a sworn statement form
Construction and property
Owners, contractors, and project managers use sworn statements to document work performed, payment status, or lien-related facts. They can prepare a form, route it to the declarant, preserve the signed record, and provide supporting documents to a requester or agency.
Legal and administrative
Claims teams, legal professionals, and public offices use sworn statements when a person must formally attest to facts. The required wording, witness or notary step, and submission destination depend on the transaction and applicable state law.
How the sworn statement process works
A sworn statement moves from accurate completion to signature, verification, and organized record storage through four practical steps.
Upload the form: Upload the completed sworn statement and confirm each required field. Add signer fields: Add signer details and choose the required signature fields.

Sworn statement form troubleshooting
Resolve field, signature, compliance, and recordkeeping questions before submitting a signed Sworn Statement Form.
Upload the original PDF again and check whether its fields are flattened, protected, or image-based. signNow can detect fillable fields in an uploaded document, but a scanned statement may require manual placement of text, date, and signature fields.
The Business plan includes templates, audit trails, mobile apps, and legally binding eSignatures at $8/user/month with annual billing. Business Premium adds bulk send at $15/user/month; plan pricing is separate from any state notary requirement.
ESIGN and UETA generally recognize electronic signatures for qualifying transactions, but they do not override exclusions such as wills, court filings, or state-specific notarization rules. Confirm the receiving authority’s requirements before sending an electronic sworn statement.
If the statement contains protected health information, signNow identifies HIPAA compliance as requiring a Business Associate Agreement. Configure the appropriate agreement and access controls before routing healthcare-related records.
A signNow audit trail records signing actions, timestamps, and document history for the completed transaction. Download the completed statement and certificate of completion, then retain them according to the governing transaction or agency rule.
A sworn statement does not automatically prove the truth of its contents. Review names, dates, amounts, attachments, witness or notary requirements, and submission instructions before signing; incorrect factual statements can create separate legal consequences under applicable law.
