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 Maine.

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

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Situations requiring proof of identity can arise when applying for government services or benefits. By providing a name affidavit, individuals can clarify that their previous names are indeed associated with their current identity, facilitating smoother processing.
  • For those who have used different names in various contexts, such as professional or personal situations, this affidavit serves to consolidate their identity. It can be particularly useful in legal matters where consistent identification is crucial.
  • When dealing with financial institutions, such as banks or credit agencies, individuals may be asked to verify their identity if they have accounts under different names. A name affidavit can help establish a clear connection between the names and the individual.

Do Not Use If:
