Overview
It is a sworn statement — also called a vehicle ownership affidavit or proof of ownership affidavit — confirming that you own a vehicle and how you acquired it.
It supports registration, transfer, and replacement matters where the usual ownership document is missing or where ownership must be confirmed under oath.
It is used in registration and ownership situations.
Describe the vehicle (year, make, model, VIN), state how and when you acquired it, and confirm no one else has an ownership interest, to the best of your knowledge. Keep any supporting records, such as a bill of sale, available.
After you fill in your vehicle ownership declaration and download the PDF, do not sign it in advance. A sworn document must be signed in front of a notary public or commissioner for taking affidavits, who administers your oath or solemn affirmation first.
Minute Notary commissions your vehicle ownership declaration online by secure video, under Ontario's remote commissioning rules (O. Reg. 431/20), or in person in Ottawa. Bring valid government-issued photo identification so we can verify your identity before applying the notary seal.
