How to Make a Sworn Statement Online
A sworn statement — the Sinumpaang Salaysay printed on countless police, barangay, and government forms — is a written declaration of facts made under oath before a notary public. In Philippine practice it is essentially the same document as an affidavit; agencies and employers simply prefer the term "sworn statement." Instead of hunting for a sworn statement form and filling in the blanks by hand, the generator asks for the facts and assembles the document for you:
- Create a free account. The Sworn Statement is one of Legalia's free documents — no payment needed.
- Fill in the guided fields. Your name, civil status, and address, then your facts as numbered statements, your Competent Evidence of Identity, and the date and place of signing.
- Preview, then print or export. The statement builds itself in a live preview as you type. Print it or download it as a Word file, then sign it before a notary public.
The Proper Philippine Format, Built In
The parts that make a sworn statement acceptable to Philippine offices are exactly the parts a copy-paste form gets wrong. The generator produces them all:
- Venue caption — the "Republic of the Philippines" heading with the city or municipality and the "S.S." notation.
- Numbered clauses — your facts stated one per paragraph, in the numbered format prosecutors, agencies, and HR departments expect. Add as many statements as your account requires.
- Purpose and attestation — the closing clause stating why the statement is executed, followed by the "IN WITNESS WHEREOF" line.
- Jurat block — the "SUBSCRIBED AND SWORN TO BEFORE ME" paragraph with your Competent Evidence of Identity, plus the notary signature and notarial register slots, ready for the notary to complete.
The same format serves the situations sworn statements are actually requested for: a sworn statement of a complainant, employee incident reports and HR investigations, DOLE and NLRC submissions, CSC administrative cases, insurance claim declarations, and school disciplinary proceedings. Whether the office calls it a sworn statement, a sworn declaration, or a Sinumpaang Salaysay, the properly subscribed English document is accepted.

Generate FreeGenerator vs. Copy-Paste Template
A downloaded sworn statement form works — until you leave a bracket unfilled, break the clause numbering, or omit the jurat details the notary needs. The generator fills the correct Philippine format from your answers, so the finished statement is internally consistent every time. If you would rather see the full document first, read the free sworn statement sample and guide — it walks through every clause the generator produces, including the full jurat block.
