An Affidavit of Residence is a legal document in which a person (the affine) swears under penalty of perjury that they reside at a given address. It is often used in situations where the residence of the person is in question or needs to be verified, such as for a driver’s license application, child custody case, or to prove residency for voting purposes. It is signed in the presence of a notary public, or other authorized official, and can be used as a substitute for a residential lease agreement or utility bill. There are several types of Affidavit of Residence, including: 1. Notarized Affidavit of Residence: This is an affidavit of residence in which the affine swears under penalty of perjury that they live at a given address and is signed in the presence of a notary public. 2. Self-Proving Affidavit of Residence: This affidavit is signed in the presence of two witnesses, who can also serve as notaries, and is used in lieu of a residential lease agreement or utility bill to prove residency. 3. Joint Affidavit of Residence: This affidavit is signed by two or more people who share the same address, such as roommates or family members, and is used to prove residency for voting purposes. 4. Parental Affidavit of Residence: This affidavit is signed by a parent or legal guardian of a minor, verifying that the minor lives at a given address. 5. Legal Guardian Affidavit of Residence: This affidavit is signed by a legal guardian, verifying that the person in their care lives at a given address.
