    This document summarizes 28 USC 1746, which establishes that unsworn declarations may be used in place of sworn affidavits or other sworn statements under United States law, so long as they are dated and signed with a statement that they are signed under penalty of perjury. It provides two sample statements that can be used, one for declarations executed outside the US and one for declarations executed within the US or its territories. The law aims to give unsworn declarations the same legal force as sworn statements.
