The Name Change Affidavit is a fundamental document in the Saudi Arabian legal system used when an individual seeks to formally change their name. This document is required by the Ministry of Interior and must be prepared in accordance with Saudi Civil Status Law and Islamic Sharia principles. It serves multiple purposes: establishing the identity of the person seeking the change, documenting the current and proposed names, providing legitimate reasons for the change, and ensuring compliance with legal and religious requirements. The affidavit must be sworn before authorized officials and may require additional supporting documentation such as guardian consent, spousal acknowledgment, or religious scholar opinions depending on the specific circumstances. This document is particularly important in Saudi Arabia where name changes are strictly regulated and must adhere to both civil and religious guidelines.
