Notarize an Affidavit of Desistance Online
An affidavit of desistance states that a complainant no longer wishes to pursue a complaint, usually after settlement or clarification of a misunderstanding. Prosecutors and courts weigh them carefully, and they must be sworn to be considered at all.
Sworn properly, filed quickly
The affiant appears by video, is identified against a government ID, and swears voluntarily. Because desistance affidavits can affect pending cases, we recommend executing them with advice of counsel; the notarized PDF is ready for filing the same day.
What you need
- The affidavit in PDF referencing the complaint or case number
- Your valid government-issued ID
- Guidance from your counsel where a case is pending
