OSAP & student status declarations

Statutory declarations students commonly need for grants and applications.

Typical uses

Students often need a statutory declaration of independent status, marital or income status, or a declaration in lieu of a guarantor for financial aid and applications.

How it works

Complete the declaration text with your facts, bring photo ID, and declare its truth before the commissioner. Certified copies of transcripts or diplomas can be prepared at the same appointment.
