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 three or more public documents showing exclusive use of the name for at least five years. Affidavits Regarding a Change of Name from at least two persons attesting that they have known the applicant by born names and that the applicant has used the new name for all purposes 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. Final determination of the name(s) to be shown in the U.S. passport will be made by Passport Services based on all of the evidence submitted. Completed affidavits will be retained and requests for copies of this affidavit should be made at the time of execution.
