With Proof, affidavits are automatically generated for you after the completion of serve attempts on a job. Once the affidavit is ready, our Affidavit Team will upload it to the job, and you will receive a notification informing you that the document is available for Wet Ink signature.

✍️ For Affidavits, Wet Ink means that the document must be physically signed, rather than electronically or digitally signed.

Receiving Affidavit Notifications

You will be notified via the Proof mobile app once your affidavit has been uploaded and is ready to be signed with Wet Ink. Be sure to enable notifications to stay updated on the status of your jobs.
