Proof of Qualifying Spouse

Married

HOOPP will accept a copy of your marriage certificate as proof of marriage.

If you can’t obtain a copy of your marriage certificate, HOOPP will accept a statutory declaration indicating the date you got married and your spouse’s name.

Common law

If you are in a common-law relationship, HOOPP will need a statutory declaration that your partner meets HOOPP’s definition of a qualifying spouse.

A statutory declaration is a sworn statement made before a judge, notary public, or commissioner of oaths.
