Accepted documents vary from one school or school service centre to another: ask it first for its list of requirements before preparing your declaration.
In what situations is it requested?
- a child housed with a relative without a lease in your name;
- a recent move with no bills or accounts at the new address;
- a family newly arrived in Québec;
- a custody situation where the child lives at different addresses.
What should the declaration contain?
- the identity of the parent or guardian and of the child;
- the child's residential address and start date;
- the nature of the housing (lease, staying with a relative, etc.);
- a statement of truthfulness.
How does this relate to the residence certificate?
The sworn residence certificate confirms a person's address; this one is adapted to the school context and describes a child's residence. The two documents may resemble each other in structure.
Can it be sworn online?
Yes, when the document and situation are eligible for remote oath commissioning, by videoconference.

Assermentation Express
Assermentation Express is not a school service centre and does not decide a child's eligibility for an institution. This service is limited to receiving the oath or solemn affirmation on a document already prepared.
