The New Jersey Affidavit of Residence is a legal document used to establish that a person is a resident of New Jersey. It is typically used to prove residency for school enrollment, voting, or other state-related matters. The affidavit is sworn to and signed in front of a Notary Public or other authorized official. There are two types of New Jersey Affidavit of Residence: the Affidavit of Residence with Two Witnesses and the Affidavit of Residence without Witnesses. In the Affidavit of Residence with Two Witnesses, two witnesses must sign the document, attesting that they have known the resident for at least six months and can verify the residency. This affidavit also requires the resident to provide details such as name, address, date of birth, and the amount of time they have lived in New Jersey. The Affidavit of Residence without Witnesses is simpler and does not require the signature of two witnesses. Instead, the resident is required to provide a detailed description of their residence, such as the address, length of time in New Jersey, and other relevant details. In either case, the Affidavit of Residence must be signed in front of a Notary Public or other authorized official and must be accompanied by proof of residence, such as a driver’s license or utility bill.
