Example
Example: a statement of address for a school registration in the Dordogne
Daniel Sample, British, has rented a house at 5 chemin des Vignes, 24200 Sarlat-la-Canéda since 1 April 2025. The bills are included in the rent, so none are in his name, and the town hall’s school office asked for an attestation de domicile with the lease. He fills in the form in English; the paper comes out in French.
| What he types | What the paper says |
|---|---|
| (nothing: the title) | ATTESTATION SUR L'HONNEUR DE DOMICILE, with a small line in English under it: (French sworn statement — attestation sur l’honneur) |
| Addressed to: Mairie de Sarlat-la-Canéda, service des affaires scolaires | À l'attention de : Mairie de Sarlat-la-Canéda, service des affaires scolaires |
| Daniel Sample, 22 July 1985, Manchester (Royaume-Uni) | Je soussigné(e) Daniel Sample, né(e) le 22 juillet 1985 à Manchester (Royaume-Uni), |
| 5 chemin des Vignes, 24200 Sarlat-la-Canéda | demeurant 5 chemin des Vignes, 24200 Sarlat-la-Canéda, |
| Since: 1 April 2025 | atteste sur l'honneur résider à l'adresse ci-dessus depuis le 1er avril 2025. |
| Signed at Sarlat-la-Canéda, 3 November 2026 | Fait pour servir et valoir ce que de droit. Fait à Sarlat-la-Canéda, le 3 novembre 2026. |
| (nothing) | Signature, with his name under it; at the foot, the article 441-7 reminder (a year in prison and a €15,000 fine) |
attestation-sur-l-honneur-domicile.pdf, one A4 page. He signs it by hand and hands it in with the lease. A field left empty prints as a line to fill in by pen; with no date chosen, the day it is made is printed.
How it works
- Enter your name and date and place of birth.
- Add your address and, if asked, since when you have lived there.
- Add who it is for, if you were told.
- Print, date and sign; add a recent utility bill if the office wants one.
Frequently asked questions
- Is it enough as proof of address?
- Sometimes. Many offices still want a bill or tax notice under three months old alongside it.
- I am staying with someone
- Then the person hosting you signs an attestation d’hébergement, which has its own page with the documents to attach.
- Does it have to be in French?
- Yes: it is handed in to a French office, so the paper is in French. This page’s form is in English; anything you type into the free-text box should be in French.
- What if it is false?
- Article 441-7 of the French penal code punishes a statement of facts known to be untrue with up to a year in prison and a €15,000 fine. The paper says so at the foot.
- What does the French text say?
- In English: “I, the undersigned [name], born on [date] in [place], living at [address], declare on my honour that I have lived at the address above since [date]. Issued for whatever purpose it may serve. Made at [town], on [date].” Then your signature, and the penal-code reminder at the foot.
- What if I leave a field empty?
- It prints as a blank line to fill in by pen, so the date of birth or the town can be written by hand. If you leave the date empty, the day you make the paper is printed.
- 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.
