Common-Law Union Declarations – Notarized Statutory Declarations
Common-Law Union Declarations – Notarized Statutory Declarations
A Common-Law Union Declaration is a sworn legal document confirming that two individuals live together in a committed, conjugal relationship for at least 12 continuous months — without being legally married. These declarations are often required for employee benefit eligibility, immigration sponsorship, or corporate relocation programs.
In Ontario, these declarations must be commissioned by a licensed Notary Public or Commissioner of Oaths, in person or via approved video conferencing.
Notary Link supports HR teams and employees across Aurora, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, and Newmarket with mobile and online commissioning services.
When Is a Common-Law Declaration Needed?
- To add a partner to company benefit plans (health, dental, life insurance)
- To document relationship status for spousal sponsorship (IRCC)
- To support housing, relocation, or dependent coverage
- To satisfy requirements from
internal compliance teams or insurers
Why Notarization Is Required
Common-law status is often self-declared, but organizations require it to be formally sworn under oath. That means:
- A licensed Notary must witness the signing
- The declaration must be legally commissioned
- ID must be verified, and all details formally documented
