Statutory Frameworks & Types of Affidavits in Kenya

The process for professional affidavit service in Kenya involves several critical steps to ensure legal integrity and admissibility. Initially, accurate and concise drafting is key, ensuring all factual statements are clear, direct, and free from hearsay, as required by the Evidence Act (Cap 80, Laws of Kenya). Once drafted, the deponent (the person making the statement) must personally appear before a qualified Commissioner for Oaths or a Notary Public to swear or affirm the truthfulness of the contents. This critical step, known as commissioning, imbues the document with legal weight. The Commissioner verifies the deponent's identity and witnesses their signature. Following commissioning, if the affidavit pertains to the service of other legal documents (e.g., an Affidavit of Service), our expert process servers will meticulously detail the particulars of that service – date, time, place, and method – within the affidavit. Finally, the commissioned affidavit is filed with the relevant court or delivered to the opposing party as required by the Civil Procedure Rules. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd manages this entire process with meticulous attention to detail, from drafting assistance and coordination with Commissioners for Oaths to precise service and timely filing at courts throughout Kenya, including prominent judicial centres like the Milimani Law Courts in Nairobi or regional High Courts.

Cost & Considerations for Affidavit Services in Kenya

The cost associated with affidavit service in Kenya varies depending on the complexity of the affidavit, its length, and whether it involves a process of service that needs to be sworn to. For a basic affidavit, such as a simple declaration or an affidavit of service, the commissioning fee by a Commissioner for Oaths typically ranges from KES 500 to KES 2,000.
