Statutory declarationsOverview
When you might need one
Most identity documents are statutory declarations: a solemn statement of fact under the Canada Evidence Act, commissioned by a notary public or a commissioner for taking affidavits. A bank, an insurer, a school, or a government office asks for one when a plain letter is not enough and a court affidavit is more than the situation calls for. The receiving office usually says which form it wants; when it does, use theirs and treat these templates as a guide to the wording.
Every template in this group is free to fill in and download. The paid step is the commissioning: you sign in front of the notary, on a secure video call under Ontario’s O. Reg. 431/20 or in person, after showing government photo ID. Do not sign in advance, and bring the document the declaration refers to — the mismatched ID, the lost permit, the earlier certificate — so the notary can note it.
- 01Proving your identity when two documents spell your name differently
- 02Declaring a fact a receiving office will not accept as an ordinary letter
- 03Confirming your address, single status, or a lost or missing document
