### Simplify Your Name Change Affidavit Process with Paperform

Whether you're updating your legal documents after marriage, divorce, or a personal name change, completing a name change affidavit doesn't have to be complicated. This **Name Change Affidavit Form** template gives you a professional, legally-structured document that collects all the essential information—previous names, reason for change, supporting documentation, and sworn statements—in one streamlined digital form.

#### Why Use Paperform for Legal Affidavits?

For **lawyers, paralegals, legal services firms, notaries, court administrators, and government agencies**, Paperform transforms the traditional paper-heavy affidavit process into a modern, efficient workflow. Instead of managing PDFs, email chains, and incomplete submissions, you get:

 - **Complete, structured submissions** with conditional logic that ensures all required information is collected based on the type of name change
 - **Secure document uploads** for supporting evidence like marriage certificates, court orders, or identification
 - **Professional, on-brand design** that builds trust and credibility with clients and petitioners
 - **Automated workflows** that route completed affidavits to the right team members for review, notarization, or filing

#### Built for Legal Professionals Who Value Efficiency

This template is specifically designed for the legal industry, where accuracy, completeness, and security matter. The form guides respondents through each section logically: personal information, complete name history, detailed reason for change, supporting documentation, and the sworn statement itself.

Paperform's conditional logic ensures that people only see questions relevant to their situation—whether they're changing their name due to marriage, divorce, adoption, gender transition, or personal preference. This reduces confusion and incomplete submissions while maintaining the formal structure required for legal documents.

#### Security and Compliance You Can Trust

When handling sensitive legal information, security isn't optional. Paperform is **SOC 2 Type II compliant and GDPR-ready**, with enterprise-grade security features including SSL encryption, data residency controls, and role-based permissions. While Paperform is not HIPAA-compliant, it meets the security standards required for most legal documentation processes.

For law firms managing multiple clients, the Agency+ plan lets you create separate workspaces for different cases or client matters, keeping documentation organized and confidential.

#### Integrate with Your Existing Legal Tech Stack

Name change affidavits rarely exist in isolation. Paperform integrates seamlessly with the tools legal professionals already use:

 - **Papersign for eSignatures**: Once the affidavit is completed, send it through Papersign (papersign.com) for secure electronic signatures from the affiant and witnesses, creating a complete audit trail
 - **Stepper for workflow automation**: Use Stepper (stepper.io) to automatically route completed affidavits to paralegals for review, send notifications to notaries, update case management systems, or create tasks in your project management tools
 - **CRM and case management integration**: Push affidavit data directly into Clio, PracticePanther, or other legal CRMs to maintain complete client records
 - **Cloud storage**: Automatically save completed affidavits and supporting documents to Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive for organized record-keeping

#### From Submission to Court Filing in One Workflow

The real power comes when you combine Paperform with Stepper and Papersign. Picture this workflow:

 1. Client completes the name change affidavit online with all required documentation
 1. Stepper automatically creates a task for your paralegal to review the submission
 1. Once approved, the affidavit is sent through Papersign for the client's signature and notarization
 1. The signed document is automatically filed in your case management system and document storage
 1. Client receives confirmation and next steps via customized email

This entire process happens automatically, freeing up billable hours and reducing the administrative burden on your legal team.

#### Perfect for Multiple Legal Use Cases

While designed for name changes, this template structure works beautifully for other affidavit types used by lawyers, court administrators, government agencies, and notaries. The sworn statement format, document upload capabilities, and formal structure make it adaptable for:

 - Affidavits of support or sponsorship
 - Witness statements and testimony
 - Affidavits of identity or residence
 - Financial disclosure affidavits
 - Consent and authorization affidavits
