The Lagos State Judiciary has officially commenced the use of electronically generated affidavits, effective June 1, 2025. The new e-Affidavit system—powered by the Lagos Case Management and Information System (LagosCOMIS)—marks a major leap in legal innovation and efficiency.

According to a circular from the Office of the Honourable Chief Judge, all general affidavits, including those for Change of Name, Loss of SIM, Declaration of Age, and other non-litigation purposes, must now be obtained exclusively via the LagosCOMIS platform:

Affidavits used in litigation at the High Courts are currently excluded from the directive.

What the New E-Affidavit System Offers:

The e-Affidavit module is part of a broader LagosCOMIS suite of features that includes:

  • eFiling
  • eAssessment and ePayments
  • Electronic Suit Number Assignment
  • Case Assignment and Management
  • Applications & Probate Management
  • Lis Pendens Monitoring
  • Virtual Hearings via Zoom
  • eNotifications and Court Services
  • Capacity Development & Certifications

  3. Sign in with your email and password
  4. Click on “Depose to an affidavit”
