A signer silently hands a pre-signed affidavit to a notary for completion. Is that enough for a valid affidavit?

Detailed Explanation

An affidavit requires more than a signature. In the booklet's "Affidavit" discussion, a valid oath requires an unequivocal present act before an officer authorized to administer it; silent delivery of a signed paper is not enough. For contrast, a signed document may later be acknowledged, but an affidavit still requires the oath-taking act itself.
