An Affidavit of Residence Address is a legal document in which an individual swears under oath that the address listed on their documents is their current, permanent home address. It’s used to verify the accuracy of an address listed on official documents and forms, including driver’s license applications, divorce petitions, child support forms and more. The affidavit is administered by a third party and is essentially a promise that the address provided is correct and up-to-date. It’s important to note that if an individual is found to have provided false information in an affidavit of residence address, they may face civil or criminal penalties.
