What is an affidavit of residency?
A sworn written statement, signed before a notary, declaring where you live. Because it is made under penalty of perjury, many agencies accept it when standard documents like a lease or utility bill are not in your name.
Where do I get an affidavit of residency notarized?
Banks and credit unions often notarize free for customers; shipping stores, law offices, and many public libraries also offer notary service. Bring the unsigned affidavit and a photo ID, sign it in front of the notary.
Can I write an affidavit for someone who lives with me?
Yes. The affidavit can include a clause where a homeowner or leaseholder attests that another person resides at the address and states how long they have lived there.
Is an affidavit of residency legally binding?
It is a sworn statement: knowingly false statements can be prosecuted as perjury. Only attest to facts you know are true.
