This declaration is temporary by nature — once your official documents reflect the new address, it is generally no longer needed.
In what situations is it requested?
- opening an account or service requiring recent proof of address;
- an administrative process where the address on identification no longer matches reality;
- a delay before a driver's licence or identification is officially updated;
- confirming an address for an organization that does not yet accept the new document.
What should the declaration contain?
- the declarant's full identity;
- the former and new address;
- the date of the address change;
- a statement of truthfulness.
Does it need to be sworn?
This depends on the receiving organization. Always check its exact requirements before having your declaration sworn.
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 government website. This service does not determine whether your change-of-address declaration meets the requirements of the organization concerned — always check those requirements before booking.
