Most state courts allow unsworn declarations under penalty of perjury in lieu of notarized affidavits. Federal courts follow 28 U.S.C. § 1746. Attach all supporting evidence including proof of lack of service or other grounds. Time limits vary: California allows 6 months (CCP § 473), federal courts use FRCP Rule 60(b) with a 1-year limit for mistake/fraud.
