Provide the contractor’s full legal name, business entity type, state license number, and authorized representative title. Accurate identification ties the affidavit to contract records and supports verification by owners, lenders, and public agencies.
Include project name, address, contract or purchase order number, and relevant contract dates. Precise project identifiers prevent confusion when multiple jobs involve the same parties or when lenders require location-specific documentation.
State amounts invoiced, paid, retainage withheld, and outstanding balances. Reference specific invoice numbers and payment dates to make the affidavit auditable and to reduce disputes about amounts owed or applied.
List subcontractors and major suppliers, amounts owed to each, and whether pay applications have been approved. Detailed schedules support downstream lien releases and clarify responsibility for unpaid work.
Specify whether the affidavit is sworn before a notary or executed under remote online notarization. Include notary name, commission number, jurisdiction, and the notarization date to satisfy recording or agency requirements.
Provide the printed name, title of the affiant, signature, and a date line. If a corporate officer signs, add the company name and specify signing authority to avoid challenges to execution authority.
