Overview
It is a sworn statement — also called a declaration of residence or proof of address affidavit — in which you confirm your home address and how long you have lived there.
It is used where you cannot provide a lease, bill, or other document in your own name.
It supports proof of address situations.
State your address, the date you began living there, and your living arrangement (renting, living with the owner, or with family). A landlord can swear a separate confirmation if an organization prefers third-party proof.
After you fill in your tenant's declaration of 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 tenant's declaration of 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.
