This is a reference format, not legal advice. Wording, required stamp paper value, and notarization steps vary by state and by institution. Always check your specific institution's or employer's requirement first and use their format if one is provided. Confirm final wording with a notary before signing.
When You Need This
Many students and first-time applicants don't have a utility bill, ration card, or bank passbook in their own name yet - these are usually still registered to a parent or another family member. When a form insists on address proof but every document you can produce is in someone else's name, a self-declaration affidavit lets you formally confirm your current residential address, your relationship to the document holder, and that the address is genuinely where you reside.

Answer a few quick questions and we'll generate the properly worded affidavit below - typed straight into the document, no leftover "[your full name]"-style instructions when you print.
Click anywhere in the document above to fine-tune the wording before printing - the verification/notary date and place are left blank on purpose, since those are only decided when you're at the notary's office.
← Edit DetailsHow to Use This Format
- Buy non-judicial stamp paper of the value required by your notary or institution - this varies by state, so confirm the exact value first.
- Have the affidavit typed or printed on the stamp paper (or attached to it, depending on your notary's process).
- Attach a copy of whatever address-proof document your family holds, even though it's in a relative's name.
- Sign it in front of a Notary Public - do not sign it beforehand - and carry a valid ID proof with you.
