When will I receive my affidavit?

An affidavit is a legal document that serves as a proof of publication.

You will receive your affidavit when: 

1. You have paid your invoice 

2. Your notice has passed its publication date(s)

3. The publisher has signed and notarized the affidavit

You will receive an email notification once the newspaper uploads a digital affidavit. A copy of the affidavit will be attached to the email. 

Once uploaded, you can also view and download the digital affidavit under the notice details screen. 

Please note that you must have successfully paid for your notice before the digital affidavit becomes available, and your notice must have completed its run. 

If you need to receive the affidavit before paying the invoice for your notice, you can request early access from the publisher; if approved, you'll be able to receive the affidavit as soon as it is uploaded to Column.

If you also opted to receive a print affidavit, you can find the expected delivery date on your Notice Details page. If a mailed affidavit wasn't requested during the placement process, we recommend downloading the affidavit and printing a physical copy for your records.
