Sworn statement redaction is the removal of personal identifiers from an affidavit or declaration. It meets FRCP 5.2 before filing. anonym.plus finds and swaps the IDs on your device, so the sworn facts stay on the page.
When this applies
A declarant signs a statement that names people and lists numbers. Before it attaches to a motion, those identifiers must be hidden.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Load the statement into anonym.plus on your device.
- The tool flags the declarant and any named parties.
- SSNs, account numbers, and dates of birth get flagged.
- Swap or black out the confirmed identifiers.
- Save the clean statement on your device.
What you need to provide
- The statement (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Redact for the filed copy).
- Optional allow-list for the jurat and notary block.

Limitations & cautions
A jurat and notary block hold names and dates you may need to keep. Use an allow-list so the oath wording stays. A birth date cut to a year still counts as a date under the rule.
Frequently asked questions
Does the notary block get redacted?
Only if you choose. An allow-list keeps the jurat and notary wording while the declarant's identifiers go.
Which numbers must be cut?
FRCP 5.2 cuts SSNs and taxpayer numbers to the last four, and financial account numbers to the last four. The tool flags both.
Can I clean a scanned, signed copy?
Yes. Local OCR reads the signed scan, so IDs on the image are caught.
