How do I create an affidavit through Column?

In order to create affidavits with Column, you must first define your organization's affidavit settings by following the instructions here.

After your organization is set up to create affidavits:

1. Navigate to the notice you would like to generate an affidavit for by clicking on the notice in your Notice Dashboard.

2. Be sure you've created the invoice already. Once you submit your invoice, Column will automatically generate an affidavit for you. Click Create Affidavit to open the affidavit PDF.

   

3. Depending on your state's public notice statutes, you may need to sign and/or notarize the affidavit. You can print the affidavit PDF to complete any necessary fields — or you can upload it directly using the Upload Affidavit button.

   

4. Click Confirm to send the affidavit to your customer.

   

5. After uploading your file, you'll see the affidavit appear to the right. Your customer will receive an automatic email informing them that an affidavit has been uploaded.

   

6. Review your affidavit any time by clicking on your affidavit file. You can also delete the current affidavit and upload a new version using the trashcan icon next to the affidavit file name, pictured above.

7. Have a lot of affidavits to upload? You may want to try our Bulk Affidavit Feature.
