Sometimes it becomes necessary for a person to give a declaration that they are the same person as another name (i.e. in the event the person may have been know by or used different names)

This package includes two (2) different types of Name Affidavit forms that allow a person to declare under penalty of perjury or under oath that he/she is the same person as the other names listed in the affidavit. This form is similar to a Declaration under Oath.

(1) One is an “Affidavit under penalty of perjury” that the Declarant (i.e. person signing the affidavit) is the same person as the other name listed in the affidavit. (2) The second form is a “Name Affidavit under oath” where the notary states that he/she gave the Declarant (the person making the declaration) an oath and that under oath, the Declarant stated that he/she is the same person as the other name listed on the affidavit.

This form can be used in District of Columbia.

This package includes (1) Instructions and Checklist; (2) Name Affidavit under penalty of perjury; (3) Name Affidavit under oath.

Frequently Asked Questions

A 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 clarify identity for legal purposes.

Anyone who needs to confirm their identity across different names can use this affidavit. This includes individuals who have changed their names due to marriage, divorce, or other reasons.

Yes, one of the forms included in the package requires notarization. The notary will confirm that the declarant has taken an oath before them, which adds legal weight to the affidavit.

This affidavit is specifically designed for use within the District of Columbia. If you are in another state, you may need to check the local laws and requirements for similar affidavits.

Typically, you will need to provide identification documents that support the names listed in the affidavit. This may include driver's licenses, passports, or other legal forms of ID.

Yes, notaries typically charge a fee for their services, which can vary based on location and the notary's policies. It's advisable to check with the notary beforehand.

The affidavit remains valid as long as the information contained within it is accurate. However, if there are changes to your name or personal information, a new affidavit may be required.

Providing false information in an 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.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who have changed their name due to marriage or divorce may need to use this affidavit to confirm their identity under their new name. This is particularly important when updating legal documents such as driver's licenses or bank accounts to reflect their current name.
  • Situations requiring the establishment of identity for legal proceedings often necessitate the use of a name affidavit. For example, someone may need to prove they are the same person as listed in a previous court case or legal document, which can be achieved through this affidavit.
  • To comply with certain administrative requirements, such as applying for government benefits or services, individuals may be asked to provide proof of identity that includes all names they have used. This affidavit serves as a formal declaration that the person is indeed the same individual across different names.
  • For those who have been known by multiple names in professional settings, such as actors or authors, a name affidavit can help clarify their identity for contracts or legal agreements. This ensures that all parties involved recognize the individual as the same person despite the different names.
  • In cases where a person's identity is questioned due to discrepancies in documentation, such as mismatched names on identification cards, this affidavit can serve as a legal tool to affirm their identity. It provides a sworn statement that can help resolve any confusion regarding their legal name.

Do Not Use If:

  • This affidavit should not be used if the individual is attempting to create a false identity or misrepresent themselves. Engaging in fraudulent activities can lead to legal repercussions.
  • If the individual is involved in ongoing legal proceedings regarding their identity or name, it is advisable to consult with an attorney before using this affidavit. Legal advice may be necessary to avoid complications.
  • In situations where the individual has not legally changed their name but wishes to use a different name informally, this affidavit is not appropriate. It is intended for formal legal declarations only.
  • If the affidavit is being used for purposes outside of identity verification, such as for employment or personal reasons that do not require legal documentation, it may not be necessary.
  • This form is not suitable for individuals seeking to change their name through a court order. A formal name change petition would be required in such cases.
