AFFIDAVIT OF RESIDENCY TEMPLATE FAQ

What is an affidavit of residency?

An Affidavit of Residency is a sworn statement confirming where you live. It’s often used for school enrollment, court filings, DMV matters, benefits programs, or housing verification when an agency requires an affidavit rather than a simple letter.

Who can sign it?

Usually the person who lives at the address signs it. In some cases, a homeowner/leaseholder or another adult with personal knowledge can sign as the affiant. This template includes both options.

What should be included?

Include your full name, the address being verified, how long you’ve lived there, and a statement that the information is true under penalty of perjury. This template also includes an attachments list for supporting documents.

Do you need notarization?

Often yes. Many affidavits must be notarized to be accepted. This template includes a notarization block and an optional witness section.

Can this be used in court?

Sometimes, but courts may require specific local forms or additional proof. This template is a general affidavit you can adapt to match local requirements.
