Practical Information
Note: Some of this information was last updated in 1982
A sworn statement by a qualified person that the allegations contained in a pleadings (in U.S. law) are true. The statutes require that many pleadings and supporting papers be verified, and some law firms follow the practice of verifying all pleadings whether or not the statute requires it. Some of the papers commonly verified are complaints, answers, petitions, and bills of particulars. If the complaint is verified, the answer must be verified. The verification always recites the venue (in U.S. law) and always has a jurat, or “sworn to” clause. One of the duties of a notary public (in U.S. law) is to administer the oath to a person verifying a pleading. The proper procedure is for the notary to stand and raise his or her right hand and ask the verifier to do the same. Then the notary administers the oath in the following, or similar words: “Do you solemnly swear that the contents of the foregoing instrument subscribed by you are the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?” The verifier should answer “Yes” or “I do.” Figure 1 is an illustration of a verification of complaint by an officer of a domestic corporation.
