Overview
A statutory declaration of marital status — also called a marital status affidavit or sworn statement of marital status — confirms your relationship status under oath before a notary public or commissioner for taking affidavits.
It is used where your status affects a benefit, a tax filing, a pension, or how an organization records your file.
A sworn statement of marital status is requested in many benefit and administrative situations.
State your current status accurately and the date it began where relevant. If you are separated or in a common-law relationship, an organization may ask for more detail, such as the separation date or how long you have cohabited, so be ready to explain.
After you fill in your statutory declaration of marital status 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 marital status 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.
