An Affidavit of Verification is attached to the end of a formal complaint, petition, or pleading.
It is the signer's sworn statement that they have read the legal document and that the allegations contained within it are true to the best of their knowledge.
This is important because it converts the allegations in a lawsuit from mere arguments into sworn statements of fact. If a plaintiff verifies a complaint and it is later proven they knew the facts were false, they can be prosecuted for perjury. Verifications are often required in divorce petitions and requests for restraining orders.
