The Affidavit For Change Of Signature is a critical legal document used when an individual needs to formally update their signature for official purposes within Canadian jurisdiction. This document becomes necessary when someone needs to change their signature due to various circumstances such as physical injury, style preference, name change following marriage, or medical conditions affecting handwriting. The affidavit serves as a legal bridge between the old and new signatures, providing institutions with a verified record of the change to prevent future authentication issues or fraud concerns. It must be sworn before a commissioner of oaths or notary public and typically includes specimen signatures, personal identification details, and the specific reason for the change. This document is particularly important for banking institutions, government agencies, and other organizations that rely on signature verification for security purposes.
