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 West Virginia.

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 oath or penalty of perjury that they are the same person as another name listed in the affidavit. This is often necessary for legal processes where identity verification is required.

You should use a Name Affidavit when you need to clarify discrepancies in your legal name for purposes such as applying for loans, updating identification documents, or during legal proceedings. It helps establish your identity across different names.

Yes, one version of the Name Affidavit requires notarization, where a notary public verifies your identity and witnesses your signing of the document. This adds an extra layer of authenticity to the affidavit.

This specific Name Affidavit is designed for use in West Virginia. While similar affidavits may exist in other states, it is important to check local laws and requirements before using this form elsewhere.

The Name Affidavit can accommodate multiple names; however, it is important to ensure that all names are clearly listed in the document. If there are extensive name variations, consider consulting a legal professional for guidance.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Situations requiring proof of identity often arise when individuals apply for loans, mortgages, or other financial services. By providing a Name Affidavit, they can clarify any discrepancies between their current name and previous names used, facilitating smoother transactions.
  • For those involved in legal proceedings, such as court cases or property transactions, establishing one's identity can be crucial. This affidavit serves as a formal declaration that the individual is the same person as listed in different names, which can be vital for the court's understanding.
  • People seeking employment may encounter situations where their previous names are listed on background checks or references. Utilizing a Name Affidavit can help clarify their identity to potential employers, ensuring that hiring processes are not hindered by name discrepancies.

Do Not Use If:
