PURPOSE An Affidavit Regarding a Change of Name may be submitted with an application for a U.S. passport when the name which is used by the applicant is (1)

substantially different from that shown on the evidence of citizenship or (2) has been adopted without formal court proceedings and was not acquired by a marriage. The

affiant (preferably a blood relative) must have personal knowledge of the applicant's use of both names. To support a change of name that has been adopted without formal

court proceedings or by a marriage, the applicant must present original or certified copies of three or more public documents evidencing that the applicant has used the

acquired name generally for five years or longer. Affidavits Regarding a Change of Name from at least two persons, attesting that they have known the applicant by both

names and that the applicant has used the new name generally for at least five years, may be provided in place of one of the public documents if the applicant cannot

obtain a third public document. The affidavit must be accompanied by a photocopy of the front and back of the affiant's identification. Final determination of the

name(s) to be shown in the U.S. passport will be made by Passport Services based on all submitted evidence. Completed affidavits will be retained and requests for copies

of this affidavit should be made at the time of execution. An affidavit does not need to be submitted if an applicant can present a court order documenting the change of

their name.
