Document background
The Same Name Affidavit Form is a crucial legal document used in situations where an individual needs to formally establish that different versions or spellings of their name refer to the same person. This situation commonly arises in international contexts, during administrative procedures, or when dealing with historical documents where name variations appear. Under German law, the affidavit must be notarized and typically includes the declarant's personal information, all name variations, and the context in which these variations have occurred. The document is particularly relevant in cases involving inheritance, property transactions, immigration procedures, or international business dealings where German documentation is required. The affidavit must comply with German civil law requirements and notarial regulations to be legally valid.
