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 South Dakota.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

A South Dakota 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. This is often necessary for legal identification purposes.

Any individual who has been known by multiple names and needs to legally affirm their identity can use this affidavit. This includes those who have changed their names due to marriage, divorce, or other reasons.

Yes, one of the forms included in the package requires a notary public to witness the declaration. The notary will confirm that the declarant has taken an oath before them.

No, this affidavit is specifically designed for use in South Dakota. If you are in another state, you will need to check the local laws and requirements for similar affidavits.

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 names due to marriage or divorce may need to use this affidavit to confirm their identity across different legal documents. This ensures that their previous names are legally recognized and linked to their current name.
  • Situations requiring verification of identity for financial transactions often necessitate the use of a name affidavit. For instance, when opening a bank account or applying for a loan, institutions may require proof that the applicant is the same person as the one associated with previous names.
  • For those applying for government benefits or licenses, a name affidavit can serve as a crucial document to establish identity. This is particularly important for individuals who have used different names in various legal contexts.
  • In cases of identity theft, victims may need to declare their true identity through a name affidavit. This document can help clarify discrepancies in records and assist in restoring their legal identity.
  • When dealing with estate matters, heirs may need to provide a name affidavit to prove their identity and relationship to the deceased. This can facilitate the distribution of assets and resolution of any legal issues.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not appropriate for individuals who are not legally recognized as having multiple names. If a person has only ever used one name, a name affidavit is unnecessary.
  • In situations where a name change has been legally documented through a court order or marriage certificate, this affidavit may not be needed. Legal documents already serve as proof of identity.
  • If the purpose of the affidavit is to misrepresent identity or commit fraud, it should not be used. Legal documents must be used ethically and truthfully.
  • For individuals seeking to correct clerical errors in official documents, a name affidavit may not be suitable. Instead, they should pursue the appropriate channels for correcting those errors.
  • This affidavit should not be used in criminal proceedings where identity verification is required through more formal legal processes. In such cases, other legal documentation may be necessary.
