Affidavit of Identity Facts

Identify the exact discrepancy

Describe each record, the name or identifier it contains, its issuing authority and relevant date. Explain why you believe the records refer to the same person and what evidence links them. Do not claim that every record bearing a matching name belongs to you. Distinguish spelling differences, clerical errors and actual name changes.

Use a factual statement with supporting records

Provide your current and earlier names where relevant, the source of each change and the purpose of the statement. Identify copies or certified records and whether they are actually attached. Protect personal identifiers and use the recipient’s secure submission process. The affidavit does not itself amend a passport, birth record, tax record or other official document.

Keep notarization and substantive proof distinct

A notarial act addresses the required appearance, identity and oath or affirmation; it does not establish that every statement in the document is accurate. California’s official jurat instructions illustrate this distinction and require the statutory notice. The receiving institution decides what substantive evidence and correction process it requires.

Review and signing

The wizard starts as an unsigned working draft. Complete the factual narrative, basis of knowledge, capacity and procedure review before selecting a signature draft. Identify required official forms, additional signers, exhibits, filing and delivery steps. The generated statement records one affiant’s account; it does not obtain another person’s agreement or testimony.

For notarized execution, arrange the required oath or affirmation and have the authorized officer complete and attach the applicable jurat. The builder does not certify that this has happened. A section 1746 declaration requires a permitted federal use and the correct wording for the actual signing location. Record the actual execution date with the signature.
