The Affidavit of Completion is a notarized form or letter in which a parent affirms that the student completed high school in a home education program. Florida law requires all colleges in the Florida college system to accept the Affidavit of Completion as the legal equivalent of a high school diploma. (See question 15 in the Florida Dept. of Education's official Home Education FAQ for parents.) (link updated 10/2022)
Many, if not all, Florida colleges have their own Affidavit of Completion forms, but parents can design their own. Many parents put this on their child's official final high school transcript, while others make it a separate letter or form.
Changes (Jan. 2020) in Florida law require specific wording to be used on notarized documents as listed below in the sample. Check with a notary for the latest wording to be used.
A sample Affidavit of Completion, one designed to be included on an official transcript, is shown below. This document should be signed by the parent in front of a Notary Public after the student has officially graduated as a home education student.

have homeschooled their own from the start. Two have graduated high school as homeschoolers with college credit earned already. One is now a public schoolvteacher, and the other has served our country. Our youngest is still learning at home. Cheryl was homeschooled for part of her early education. We are passionate about helping others homeschool and protecting their rights.

I have found FL Homeschool Evaluations to be very efficient and accommodating. Very knowledgeable in Florida law regarding home education. Non-judgemental and encouraging, allowing parents to maintain control of their child's education. Fairly priced, prompt, good communication. Quick turn around on completed forms. We have been well pleased with our experience" Michelle L.
"Mrs. Cheryl is absolutely amazing. Always there to help answer any questions and helps me and my daughter feel comfortable during evaluation. I recommend her to anyone in Florida." Yesenia
"I am so glad I chose Cheryl to evaluate my children. We finished our first homeschooling year in October, and Cheryl made the process painless, and has made me even more excited to homeschool my kids this year. I was so nervous leading up to the evaluation. But Cheryl is great, and is very informative and to the point. I am so thankful I found her. And will definitely be using her again. Thanks again Mrs. Cheryl!!" Mary
