A Name Change Affidavit is a fundamental document in the Austrian legal system used when an individual seeks to formally change their name. This document is required under Austrian law when applying for a name change through the civil registry office (Standesamt) or administrative authority. The affidavit must include comprehensive personal information, current legal name, proposed new name, and detailed reasons for the change. It serves as a sworn statement confirming the truthfulness of the provided information and the legitimate intention behind the name change. The document is particularly important as it forms part of the permanent legal record and must comply with the Name Change Act (Namensänderungsgesetz) and Civil Status Act (Personenstandsgesetz). It's typically used in situations such as marriage, divorce, gender transition, religious conversion, or when someone wishes to change their name for personal or professional reasons.
