This declaration is distinct from the RAMQ 4488 declaration, specific to registering a child for health insurance — it covers other contexts where physical presence in Québec must be established.
In what situations is it requested?
- eligibility for a program or benefit requiring continuous residence;
- calculating a residency period for an administrative process;
- proof of physical presence for a foreign organization or plan;
- the absence of usual documents (lease, bills) to establish continuous presence.
What should the declaration contain?
- the declarant's full identity;
- the period of presence declared;
- the facts supporting this declaration (address, activities, ties to Québec during the period);
- a statement of truthfulness.
Does it need to be sworn?
This depends entirely on the organization requesting it. 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.
