Purpose
Open with a one-sentence statement of why the affidavit exists and what specific application item it supports.
A precise affidavit helps CBP adjudicators resolve identity discrepancies, reduce interview delays, and document facts that affect eligibility. Well-prepared sworn statements can prevent denials caused by incomplete or inconsistent information.
The affidavit is most often prepared by applicants or their legal representatives to support a Global Entry application.
When multiple parties are involved, ensure each signer follows notarization and identity-proofing requirements to avoid processing delays.
