Affidavit of One and the Same

Louisiana Affidavit of One and the Same form

The Louisiana Affidavit of One and the Same form is used when a name appears differently across title transfer documents, but the names refer to the same person. This page gives you the basic details, what information you need, and a direct download for the form.

What this form is used for

This affidavit helps conform names shown on documents submitted to the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles during a vehicle ownership transfer. It is commonly used when the name on the Certificate of Title does not exactly match the name on another supporting document.

• Name differences between the Certificate of Title and another document
• Middle name, initial, suffix, or spelling differences
• Marriage, divorce, or legal name variation issues tied to title paperwork
• Vehicle transfer paperwork that needs a notarized explanation before processing

Information you should have ready

• Name exactly as it appears on the Certificate of Title
• Name exactly as it appears on the other document or documents
• Vehicle Identification Number, also called the VIN or serial number
• Vehicle make, model, and year
• Valid identification for the person signing the affidavit
• Any title, bill of sale, application, donation, or supporting documents tied to the transfer

Why this form matters

Louisiana title paperwork needs to match. When a name difference creates confusion, the Affidavit of One and the Same gives the OMV or a public tag agent a notarized statement connecting the names to one person. Title Authority can review your documents before you sign so the affidavit matches the paperwork being submitted.

Official Louisiana form source
