Notarization Information
A proof of residency affidavit is a sworn statement and must be signed in the physical presence of a licensed Notary Public. Do not sign this document in advance — signing before a notary is present will invalidate the affidavit. Bring a government-issued photo ID when visiting the notary. Confirm that your institution accepts a notarized affidavit as proof of residency before submitting.
Do not sign this document before appearing in front of a licensed Notary Public if notarization is required for your use.
