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 Maryland.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

A Maryland 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 other names listed in the affidavit. This is often necessary for legal identification purposes.

Any individual who has been known by multiple names or has changed their name for any reason can use a Name Affidavit. This includes those who have undergone marriage, divorce, or other name changes.

To complete a Name Affidavit, you must fill out the form accurately, listing all names you have been known by. After filling it out, you will need to sign it in front of a notary public who will administer the oath.

Yes, a Name Affidavit is a legally binding document once it is signed and notarized. It serves as a sworn statement that can be used in legal proceedings or to verify identity.

While the Name Affidavit is specifically designed for use in Maryland, it may be accepted in other jurisdictions depending on their laws regarding identity verification. It is advisable to check local requirements before use.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who have changed their name due to marriage or divorce may need to provide a name affidavit to confirm their identity across various legal documents. This ensures that their previous names are legally recognized and linked to their current name.
  • Situations requiring proof of identity often arise when applying for government documents such as a passport or driver's license. A name affidavit can serve as a crucial piece of evidence to verify that the applicant is the same person as the one listed on their birth certificate or other identification.
  • For those who have been known by multiple names in different contexts, such as professional or academic settings, a name affidavit can help clarify their identity. This is particularly important when dealing with legal matters or financial transactions where accurate identification is essential.
  • In cases where a person is facing legal proceedings, they may be required to submit a name affidavit to affirm their identity. This can help prevent any confusion or disputes regarding their legal status or obligations.
  • When individuals are applying for loans or mortgages, lenders may request a name affidavit to ensure that all names associated with the applicant are accounted for. This helps in establishing a clear financial history and identity.

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. A name affidavit does not replace the need for a legal name change process.
  • If a person is facing criminal charges or legal disputes regarding their identity, a name affidavit may not suffice as evidence. In such cases, more comprehensive legal documentation may be required.
  • Individuals who have never been known by another name should not use this form, as it is specifically designed for those who need to affirm their identity across multiple names.
  • In situations where a name affidavit could be used to commit fraud or misrepresentation, it is not appropriate to use this form. Legal consequences may arise from misuse.
  • For those who require a name affidavit for purposes outside of identity verification, such as employment verification, other forms or documentation may be more suitable.
