Oaths
Declarations
The offices of the town clerk or mayor can witness your oath at the town hall located at 5 D’Youville Boulevard, at no charge for residents of Châteauguay. You must telephone in advance to make an appointment at 450-698-3054, 450-698-3056 or 450-698-3008. The individual who is making the declaration must come and sign before the commissioner for oaths and present a proof of identity with a photo.
Certificate of life
To obtain a certificate of life (certifying that you are alive in order to receive pension benefits), you must telephone the town clerk’s office at 450-698-3054 to make an appointment. The town clerk or the assistant can issue a certificate of life but cannot issue a certificate of residence (certifying that you live at your address). The cost is $6 per certificate.
Certificate of residence
The domicile or residence of an individual is a question of fact over which the municipal officers have no control. They can not therefore certify that a person is domiciled or resides at one location or another. The town clerk or commissioner for oaths can however formalize the declaration of an individual to the effect that they solemnly swear that they are domiciled or they reside in Châteauguay. Call the town clerk’s office ahead of time to make an appointment, at 450-698-3054.
