Portuguese term or phrase: termo de declarações
Hello, I'd like to know what is the most accurate translation into English of the expression "termo de declarações" - this is the title of a document written by a police clerk with a description (in the 3rd person) of the statements made by a witness about the suspects.

Can anyone help? Many thanks
Isabel

Notes to answerer
Asker: Actually I ended up using "affidavit", as I had found a very similar example translated from Brazilian source text into English and they used "affidavit"... I wonder if it is correct?

Asker: I mean, the document I had wasn't written in the 1st person, but the witness signed after "read and agreed to"...
