About this document
- 01
What is an employment and income declaration?
It is a sworn statement — also called a proof of income affidavit or employment verification declaration — confirming your work and earnings under oath before a notary public or commissioner for taking affidavits.
It is used where an organization needs sworn confirmation of your income and cannot rely on usual documents alone.
- 02
When you might need one
It is requested as proof of income in many situations.
- Applying for housing, a rental, or a mortgage.
- Supporting a credit, benefit, or program application.
- Confirming income for an immigration or sponsorship matter.
- Showing income when you are self-employed or paid in cash.
- 03
What to include
State your employer or business, your role, how long you have worked, and your income with the period it covers. Keep any supporting records — pay information, invoices, or bank statements — available, as they are often requested alongside the declaration.
