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 Massachusetts.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

A Massachusetts 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 the names listed in the affidavit. It is often used to clarify identity in legal situations.

Anyone who has changed their name or has been known by multiple names may need to use a name affidavit. This includes individuals who have undergone marriage, divorce, or have been victims of identity theft.

To complete a name affidavit, you must fill out the appropriate form, provide the names you are declaring as your own, and sign it in front of a notary public. Ensure that all information is accurate to avoid legal issues.

Yes, a name affidavit is a legally binding document. By signing it, you are declaring under penalty of perjury that the information provided is true, which can have legal implications if proven false.

While the name affidavit is specifically designed for use in Massachusetts, it may be accepted in other jurisdictions depending on their laws. It's advisable to check local requirements before submission.

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 formally declare their identity under their new name. This ensures that all legal documents reflect their current name, preventing confusion in legal or financial matters.
  • Situations requiring a person to prove their identity for legal purposes, such as applying for a passport or driver's license, often necessitate the use of a name affidavit. This document serves as a formal declaration that the individual is the same person as the names listed, aiding in the verification process.
  • For those who have been known by multiple names throughout their life, such as a maiden name and a married name, this affidavit can clarify their identity in legal situations. It helps to consolidate their identity under one legal name, which is crucial for matters like estate planning or inheritance.
  • In cases where a person has been a victim of identity theft and their name has been used fraudulently, they may need to submit a name affidavit to rectify their legal identity. This form can support their claims and assist in restoring their name to its rightful status.
  • Professionals such as lawyers or real estate agents may require clients to complete a name affidavit to ensure that all parties involved in a transaction are correctly identified. This helps to avoid legal disputes that could arise from misidentification.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not appropriate for individuals who are seeking to change their name legally through a court process. Legal name changes typically require a petition to the court and cannot be accomplished solely through an affidavit.
  • If someone is attempting to use a name affidavit to commit fraud or misrepresent their identity, this form should not be used. Engaging in fraudulent activities can lead to serious legal consequences.
  • In cases where a person is not the same as the names listed in the affidavit, using this form would be inappropriate. The affidavit requires truthful representation of identity, and any discrepancies could lead to legal issues.
  • Individuals who are under investigation for identity theft or related crimes should refrain from using a name affidavit. It could be seen as an attempt to obscure their true identity and complicate legal proceedings.
