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 Texas.

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

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Situations requiring proof of identity often arise when applying for government services or financial accounts. By submitting a Name Affidavit, individuals can clarify any discrepancies in their name history, which is crucial for processing applications smoothly.
  • For those who have been known by multiple names throughout their life, such as a maiden name or a nickname, this affidavit serves as a formal declaration of their identity. It can be particularly useful in legal proceedings where consistent identification is necessary.
  • People seeking to rectify their identification documents may find this affidavit essential. When discrepancies exist between a person's legal name and the name on their identification, this form can help resolve those issues effectively.
  • In cases where a person is involved in legal disputes or transactions that require clear identification, a Name Affidavit can provide the necessary documentation to affirm their identity. This can help prevent potential legal complications arising from name variations.

Do Not Use If:
