Overview
A statutory declaration of date of birth — also called a date of birth affidavit or sworn statement of date of birth — confirms under oath the day, month, and year you were born, and often your place of birth.
It supports applications where a birth certificate cannot be produced, or it explains and corrects a record that shows the wrong date.
It is most often requested for identity, immigration, and benefit purposes.
State your full legal name, your date of birth, and your place of birth. If you are correcting a record, identify the document that is wrong and the correct information. Where you can, mention any documents that support the date you are declaring.
After you fill in your statutory declaration of date of birth 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 statutory declaration of date of birth 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.
