Use an affidavit of service where required to prove service of a notice on the owner of real property. It verifies that the notice was served by someone other than an officer authorized to serve process in civil action.

The affidavit, executed by the person serving notice, cites the date and manner by which notice has been served. It is signed by the individual serving notice in the presence of a notary public. The affidavit may need to be in recordable form if accompanying recorded notices. In this case, the document should meet all state and local recording requirements before submitting in the appropriate circuit clerk's office.

Consult a lawyer to verify whether an affidavit of notice is necessary for the specific circumstances.
