A New Jersey Affidavit of Residence is a sworn statement signed by a parent or legal guardian of a student living in New Jersey that verifies the student's address and primary residence in the state. The affidavit is typically used to support the student's eligibility for in-state tuition or to confirm the student's residence for school district residency requirements. There are two types of New Jersey Affidavit of Residence: the Parent/Guardian Affidavit of Residence and the Third Party Affidavit of Residence. The Parent/Guardian Affidavit of Residence must be signed by a parent or legal guardian and is usually used when the student is under the age of 18. The Third Party Affidavit of Residence is signed by an adult who has knowledge of the student's residence and is typically used when the student is over the age of 18. Both affidavits must be accompanied by supporting documents such as a lease, utility bills, or driver's license to verify the student's address.
