Does it count as proof of address?

Brazilian Law 7.115/1983 presumes a residence declaration true when the person concerned signs it under the penalties of the law, and asks that it state the declarant’s responsibility, which the PDF does. Schools and public offices usually accept it; banks may also want a bill or a certified signature.

Why is it in Portuguese?

It is handed in in Brazil, so the paper is in Portuguese. Anything you type into the free boxes should be in Portuguese too.

The bills are not in my name. Who signs?

The person whose name is on the bills. They choose Residence for someone else, fill in their own details as the declarant, put you under Name of the person living with you with your CPF, and sign. The PDF itself says that a copy of a bill in their name is attached.

Can I declare my own address without any bill?

Yes: choose Residence (I live at this address). The PDF states, under the penalties of the law, that you live at the address given, from the date under At the address since if you fill it in. Whether that is enough on its own is for the office that asked; some also want a bill or a rental contract.

Is what I type uploaded?

No. The PDF is made in your browser and nothing you type leaves your device. Nothing of ours is printed on the paper.

Is this legal advice?

No, it is a form. If in doubt, ask the office that wants the declaration.

Example

Example: a Brazilian partner declares that her British partner lives with her

Mark Evans, British, moved into his partner’s flat in Curitiba on 1 August 2025. The bills are in her name, and the bank where he is opening an account wants proof of address. So Juliana Ferreira Lima, whose name is on the bills, makes the declaration with Residence for someone else. Both are fictitious.

The first boxes are Juliana’s: name, CPF, RG with the issuing body, address with CEP, and brasileira, solteira, professora, typed in Portuguese.
Mark goes under Name of the person living with you, with his own CPF; Relationship: companheiro; At the address since: 1 August 2025; What it is for: abertura de conta bancária.
City: Curitiba; date: 16 November 2026. If Mark’s CPF box were left empty, the PDF would print a line there to fill in by hand.

In the form	In the PDF
Declaration: Residence for someone else	DECLARAÇÃO DE RESIDÊNCIA, with “(Brazilian declaration — declaração)” in small grey type under it
Juliana’s details	“Eu, Juliana Ferreira Lima, brasileira, solteira, professora, portador(a) do RG nº …, inscrito(a) no CPF sob o nº …, residente e domiciliado(a) em …,”
What it is for: abertura de conta bancária	“DECLARO, para os devidos fins, especialmente para abertura de conta bancária, sob as penas da lei, …”
Mark, his CPF, companheiro, since 2025-08-01	“… que Mark Evans, inscrito(a) no CPF sob o nº …, reside comigo, na condição de companheiro, no endereço acima indicado desde 1º de agosto de 2025.”
Nothing to fill in	“Para comprovar, anexo cópia de comprovante de endereço em meu nome.”
Nothing to fill in	The statement of responsibility under Law 7.115/1983 and art. 299 of the Penal Code, and that article quoted at the foot
City and date: Curitiba, 2026-11-16	“Curitiba, 16 de novembro de 2026.” and a signature line with Juliana’s name under it

declaracao-de-residencia.pdf, in Portuguese. Juliana prints it, signs it and hands it over with a copy of a bill in her name. Whether the bank also wants her signature certified at a cartório (firma reconhecida) is up to the bank, so Mark asks there first.

How it works

Optionally say what it is for and since when you have lived there.
Download, print and sign. For someone else, attach a copy of a bill in your name.
