Affidavit of Identity

An Affidavit of Identity is a document through which an individual person affirms their identity through use of a specific piece of documentation, such as a driver's license or birth certificate. Although it may seem redundant, sometimes Affidavits of Identity are used to obtain replacement IDs or open certain accounts, like bank accounts. Often, these documents are used when papers cannot be physically signed and verification of signature and identity is needed.

Affidavits of Identity contain basic information about the person swearing their personal ID (this person is called the affiant):

1. Full legal name;

2. Date of birth;

3. Full and current address;

4. Document name and if applicable, number verifying the ID; and

5. Reason the Affidavit is needed
