Overview
It is a sworn statement — also called an occupancy affidavit or proof of occupancy declaration — confirming who lives in or occupies a property and the nature of that occupancy.
It is used where an organization needs sworn confirmation of how a property is occupied.
It supports lending, insurance, and municipal matters.
Identify the property, who occupies it, the basis of occupancy (owner, tenant, family), and since when. Keep supporting records available if the organization asks for them.
After you fill in your statutory declaration of occupancy 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 occupancy 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.
