The Florida Declaration of Domicile is a document that legally declares Florida as an individual's primary residence. It is a written document, signed and notarized, that states the individual's intention to make Florida their permanent home. This document is required to be filed with the county clerk in the county the individual resides in. There are two types of Florida Declaration of Domicile: permanent and temporary. Permanent Domicile is for those who plan to remain in Florida for the foreseeable future while Temporary Domicile is for those who have a temporary residence in Florida, such as college students, snowbirds, or military personnel. The document must be filed with the county clerk before any other documents or records can be processed. The Declaration of Domicile is used to prove a person's residency and eligibility for certain benefits and privileges in the state of Florida.
