An affidavit of domicile is a sworn statement signed before a notary public establishing the legal domicile of someone who has died. "Domicile" is a term that, for immigration and tax purposes, refers to your country of residence. Domicile is intended to be permanent rather than temporary, whereas residence means living in a particular locality and requires mere physical presence. Simply put, your domicile is your home—the state you consider your permanent place of residence.
