What must an affidavit be in order to be valid?

  1. Authorized and notarized

  2. Signed and sworn

  3. Signed and witnessed

  4. Registered and notarized

The correct answer is: Authorized and notarized

An affidavit must be authorized and notarized to be considered valid. This means that it must be signed and verified by a public official, such as a notary public, who acts as a witness to the signing. Option B is incorrect because an affidavit does not necessarily have to be sworn, it just needs to be signed and notarized. Option C is also incorrect because it only requires a witness, but not a notary public. Option D is incorrect because there is no need for an affidavit to be registered, it only needs to be notarized.
