The affidavit must be signed in the presence of which official?

  1. Lawyer

  2. Judge

  3. Notary

  4. Police Officer

The correct answer is: Notary

An affidavit is a type of legal document that requires the signature of an official witness to make it valid. While lawyers and judges are considered legal professionals, they are not necessarily authorized to serve as a witness for the signing of an affidavit. On the other hand, a notary public is a public official who is authorized to witness and authenticate documents and signatures, including affidavits. This makes option C the correct answer. Additionally, police officers are not authorized to serve as a witness for the signing of an affidavit unless they are also a notary public.
