An affidavit is a kind of oath or a sworn statement that is signed by an individual indicating that he is signing the statement without any pressure or force from someone else and he is going to accept all the responsibilities and consequences after signing the statement.
What is meant by Individual Acknowledgement?
There is very little difference between verification and acknowledgment. There are some situations in which it is not enough to verify a particular document by a department but the person who signed the document needs to be presented personally in front of the clerk of the department and acknowledge that he in fact signed the document and takes all the responsibility or liabilities that might come with signing the document. This is known as acknowledgment by an individual.
