Frequently asked questions

Does an affidavit of residence need to be notarized?

Yes. It is a sworn statement, so it must be signed in front of a notary to be valid. That is why paying takes you straight into your online notarization session.

Does the NY DMV accept an affidavit of residence?

The DMV accepts it in some situations, generally alongside other proof, but requirements vary by transaction. Confirm with the specific DMV office or transaction instructions before you rely on it alone.

Who signs an affidavit of residence?

Typically the person confirming the residence, either their own or someone else’s, signs it in front of the notary. If someone else is confirming your residence on your behalf, they are the one who signs.

Can I use this for school enrollment?

Yes, NYC schools commonly accept a notarized affidavit of residence, often alongside supporting documents, when standard proof of address is not available.

What is the difference between an affidavit of residence and an affidavit of domicile?

An affidavit of residence confirms where someone currently lives. An affidavit of domicile is a more specific legal document, often used after a death, confirming a person’s permanent legal home. They are not interchangeable.

Can I download the notarized document right after my session?

Yes. As soon as your notarization session ends, you are emailed the completed, notarized document so you can download it right away. Make sure to save it within 7 days.
