The existence of an Affidavit is one aspect that confirms that the process of proving a legal problem in Indonesia is undergoing adjustments in line with the very rapid development of law in this Era of Globalization. The application of Affidavits in Bankruptcy and PKPU legal processes is important in their development. This research uses Normative Legal Research using the method of the Statute Approach. Article 299 of Law Number 37 of 2004 concerning Bankruptcy and Postponement of Debt Payment Obligations explains that the procedural law that applies in resolving Bankruptcy cases and Postponement of Debt Payment Obligations is Civil Procedure Law. Written evidence is significant in the Bankruptcy Law and PKPU process, although the process still prioritizes simple evidence.
