DS-60 Affidavit Regarding a Change of Name – Fillable PDF

The DS-60 is the U.S. Department of State’s affidavit used when a passport applicant’s current name differs substantially from the name on their citizenship evidence, or when the name was not acquired through marriage or a court order. An affiant—usually a close relative who knows the applicant’s name usage—must complete the form.

Our fillable PDF version lets you complete the DS-60 directly in your browser. No printing, scanning, or PDF editors are required. Just click the button, fill the fields, and download a ready‑to‑submit document.

What Is the DS-60 Form and When Is It Required?

The DS-60 serves as a sworn statement that the applicant is known by two names. It is typically attached to a passport application (Form DS‑11) when:

• The applicant uses a name that is substantially different from the name on their birth certificate or naturalization certificate.
• The name change was not the result of marriage, divorce, or a court order.
• The affiant can personally attest to the applicant’s use of both names.

Common Mistakes to Avoid on Your DS-60

• Leaving fields blank: Every line must be completed, even if the answer is "None" or "N/A".
• Incorrect relationship description: Specify the exact relationship (e.g., "maternal aunt") to avoid processing delays.
• Signature errors: The affiant must sign in the designated area; electronic signatures are accepted when using Formize.
• Mismatched names: Ensure the two names match exactly what appears on the applicant’s supporting documents.
