Document background
The Same Name Affidavit is commonly required when an individual needs to establish that different versions of their name (due to marriage, divorce, legal name changes, or spelling variations) refer to the same person. This document is particularly important in the United States for legal, financial, and administrative purposes, such as real estate transactions, banking matters, or court proceedings. The affidavit must be sworn before a notary public and includes detailed information about all name variations, the circumstances of their use, and may require supporting documentation.
