the person making a statement, usually written and signed by that person, under
"penalty of perjury" pursuant to the laws of the state in which the statement, called
a declaration, is made. The declaration is more commonly used than the affidavit,
which is similar to a declaration but requires taking an oath to swear to the truth
attested to (certified in writing) by a notary public. In theory, a declarant who
knowingly does not tell the truth would be subject to the criminal charge of perjury.
Such violations are seldom pursued.
