Frequently Asked Questions

A Delaware Name Affidavit is a legal document that allows an individual to declare under penalty of perjury or under oath that they are the same person as another name listed in the affidavit. It is often used to confirm identity for legal purposes.

You should use a Name Affidavit when you need to verify your identity in relation to different names you have used, such as after a marriage or divorce, or when applying for legal documents that require consistent identification.

Yes, one version of the Name Affidavit requires notarization. The notary public will witness your signature and confirm that you have taken an oath regarding the truthfulness of the statements made in the affidavit.

This affidavit is specifically designed for use in Delaware. While similar forms may exist in other states, it is important to check local laws and requirements if you are outside of Delaware.

Providing false information in a Name Affidavit can lead to serious legal consequences, including charges of perjury. It is crucial to ensure that all statements made in the affidavit are true and accurate.

The Name Affidavit should be filled out with your current name, any other names you have used, and the circumstances under which you are making the declaration. Follow the instructions provided in the package carefully to ensure compliance.

Yes, notaries typically charge a fee for their services, which can vary based on location and the notary's policies. It's advisable to inquire about fees before scheduling an appointment.

Once the affidavit is signed and notarized, it cannot be modified. If changes are necessary, a new affidavit must be completed and notarized to reflect the updated information.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who have undergone a name change due to marriage or divorce may need to affirm their identity under their previous names. This affidavit serves as a legal declaration that they are the same person, which can be crucial for updating identification documents.
  • Situations requiring the verification of identity for legal or financial transactions often necessitate the use of a name affidavit. For instance, when opening a bank account or applying for a loan, individuals may be asked to confirm that their current name matches their previous names.
  • For those who have been known by multiple names throughout their life, such as a maiden name or a nickname, this affidavit can provide clarity. It helps ensure that their legal documents and records are consistent and accurate, preventing potential issues in legal matters.
  • In cases where a person needs to prove their identity for employment purposes, a name affidavit can be essential. Employers may require verification of previous names to conduct background checks or confirm employment history.
  • When dealing with estate planning or inheritance matters, heirs may need to establish their identity in relation to a deceased relative. A name affidavit can facilitate this process by confirming that the heir is indeed the same person as listed in the deceased's records.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not appropriate for individuals who are attempting to change their name legally without following the proper legal procedures. In such cases, a formal name change petition should be filed with the court.
  • If a person is involved in a legal dispute regarding their identity or name, using this affidavit may complicate matters. It is advisable to seek legal counsel instead of using this form in contentious situations.
  • Individuals who are unsure about the accuracy of the names they wish to declare should refrain from using this affidavit. Providing incorrect information can lead to legal repercussions.
  • This affidavit should not be used for purposes outside of identity verification, such as for immigration applications or other legal processes that require specific forms or documentation.
  • If the individual has been convicted of identity fraud or similar crimes, they should not use this affidavit as it may raise legal concerns and could lead to further scrutiny.
