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 New Jersey.

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 for identity verification purposes.

You may need to use a Name Affidavit when you have changed your name, have used different names in the past, or need to confirm your identity for legal or administrative purposes.

To complete a Name Affidavit, fill out the required information, sign the document in front of a notary public, and ensure all names you are declaring are accurately listed.

Yes, a Name Affidavit is a legally binding document. By signing it, you are declaring that the information provided is true under penalty of perjury.

While the Name Affidavit is specifically designed for use in New Jersey, similar forms may be available in other states, but you should check local laws to ensure compliance.

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 affirm that they are the same person as their previous name. This declaration can help in updating legal documents such as driver's licenses, passports, and bank accounts.
  • Situations requiring proof of identity often arise during legal proceedings or when applying for government benefits. The Name Affidavit serves as a formal declaration that can be presented to courts or agencies to confirm that the individual is indeed the same person as listed under different names.
  • For those who have used aliases or nicknames in the past, this affidavit can clarify their identity in legal matters. It provides a sworn statement that can be crucial for resolving discrepancies in records or during background checks.
  • People seeking employment may need to provide a Name Affidavit if their job application includes a name different from the one on their identification documents. This helps employers verify the applicant's identity and ensures compliance with hiring regulations.
  • In cases of inheritance or estate matters, beneficiaries may be required to prove their identity if they are known by multiple names. The Name Affidavit can serve as a legal tool to establish their rightful claim to assets.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not appropriate for individuals who are attempting to change their name legally through a court process. A formal name change petition is required in such cases.
  • If the individual is trying to conceal their identity or is involved in fraudulent activities, using a Name Affidavit would be illegal and unethical.
  • For situations where a name discrepancy is due to clerical errors, it is better to address the issue directly with the relevant institution rather than using an affidavit.
  • In cases where the individual has been convicted of identity theft or fraud, using this affidavit may not be advisable as it could raise legal concerns.
  • If the affidavit is being used for purposes outside of identity verification, such as for employment eligibility verification, it may not be suitable.
