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 Ohio.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

An Ohio 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. It is often used to clarify identity discrepancies.

Any individual who has been known by different names and needs to affirm their identity can use this affidavit. It is particularly useful for those who have undergone name changes due to marriage, divorce, or personal choice.

Yes, one of the forms included in the package requires a notary to witness the declaration under oath. The notary's role is to verify the identity of the declarant and ensure the affidavit is legally binding.

This specific affidavit is designed for use in Ohio. While similar forms may exist in other states, it is important to check local laws and requirements before using this affidavit elsewhere.

Providing false information in an affidavit can lead to serious legal consequences, including charges of perjury. It is crucial to ensure that all information declared is accurate and truthful.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who have changed their name for personal reasons may need to affirm their identity under their new name. This affidavit serves as a legal declaration that they are indeed the same person as previously known, which can be crucial for legal documents or identification purposes.
  • Situations requiring proof of identity often arise in legal proceedings or when applying for government documents. By using this affidavit, a person can clarify any discrepancies in their name history, ensuring that their legal identity is recognized consistently across various platforms.
  • To comply with certain legal requirements, such as when opening bank accounts or applying for loans, individuals may be asked to provide proof that they are the same person as listed in different names. This affidavit can help satisfy those requirements by providing a sworn statement of identity.
  • For those who have been known by multiple names due to marriage, divorce, or other reasons, this affidavit can simplify the process of establishing their legal identity. It provides a formal way to declare that all names listed refer to the same individual, thereby avoiding potential confusion.
  • In cases where a person's name appears differently on various legal documents, such as birth certificates or identification cards, this affidavit can help reconcile those differences. It serves as a legal tool to affirm the individual's identity and ensure that all records are consistent.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not appropriate for individuals who are seeking to change their name legally. For legal name changes, a different process must be followed, typically involving a court petition.
  • If a person is attempting to use this affidavit to commit fraud or misrepresent their identity, it should not be used. Legal documents must always reflect the truth to avoid legal repercussions.
  • In situations where the individual has been convicted of identity theft or related crimes, using this affidavit may not be advisable. Legal counsel should be sought to navigate the complexities of their situation.
  • This affidavit should not be used in cases where there is a dispute regarding the identity of the individual. Legal disputes require more formal proceedings and cannot be resolved solely through an affidavit.
  • If the individual is under guardianship or has a legal representative, this affidavit may not be suitable without the consent of the guardian or representative.
