The declaration describes your activity; it is not a notice of assessment, a financial statement or a tax document, which the institution may also require.
In what situations is it requested?
- a credit, loan or rental application;
- an immigration process where you must prove your employment;
- proof of irregular income or one-off contracts;
- a process where you have no employer letter.
What should the declaration contain?
- your identity and, if applicable, the name of your business;
- the nature of your activity and since when you have carried it out;
- your main clients or types of contracts;
- the order of magnitude of your income, if useful;
- a statement of truthfulness.
How does this relate to the income declaration?
The sworn income declaration focuses on the amounts earned. This one first describes the activity itself; they may be requested together.
Can it be sworn online?
Yes, when the document and situation are eligible for remote oath commissioning, by videoconference.
