What is an Affidavit of Name Change?

An Affidavit of Name Change is a sworn statement that is used to verify the identity of a person who operates under multiple names. This document can be helpful for anyone who is using a name that has not been changed officially by a court or changed through marriage. You can also use this document if you have recently been married, divorced, or formally changed your name, but need additional verification of your name change. Another person, preferably a blood-relative, who has personal knowledge of you using both your legal name and your chosen name, will fill out this Affidavit.

When to use an Affidavit of Name Change:

You have changed your name in the past and now a party you are dealing with wants assurances that the name change is proper and there is no chance of impropriety.
