Overview
It is a sworn statement — also called a declaration of ordinary residence or residency declaration — confirming that Ontario is where you ordinarily make your home.
It is used where eligibility for a benefit, rate, or program depends on residing in the province, and differs from a simple proof of address.
It supports residency-based eligibility.
Confirm that you ordinarily reside in Ontario, your address, and since when, and explain your connection to the province. Each program sets its own residency rules; keep supporting documents available if requested.
After you fill in your statutory declaration of ordinary residence 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 ordinary residence 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.
