What is Affidavit of Age and Identity – Tarrant County, TX?
The Affidavit of Age and Identity is a Tarrant County Clerk form on which an applicant swears, before a notary public, to a verified date of birth. The notary completes the form by signing it and applying a seal.
The text printed on the form sets out how it works. The top gives the State and the County where the oath is taken. The body says that the person named as applicant personally appeared before the undersigned authority, is known to that authority, subscribed their name below, and has verified their date of birth, which is written in MM/DD/YYYY format. Below that are a line for the Signature of Applicant and a line for the Print Full Legal Name of Affiant. The closing block reads "Subscribed and sworn to before me on this day of, 20" and has space for the Signature of Notary Public and a Seal.
The form carries the name of Mary Louise Nicholson, County Clerk, in its heading, and the Tarrant County Clerk lists it among the downloadable forms on its Popular Forms page. Those forms contain fields that can be edited in a browser or after downloading.
The form concerns age and identity only. It has no tax, property or payment lines, and it does not state which application or office it supports.
Who needs to file Affidavit of Age and Identity – Tarrant County, TX?
The form is written for an applicant whose date of birth must be verified under oath before a notary public. The applicant signs on the line marked Signature of Applicant and prints their full legal name on the line for the affiant. The notary public then signs and seals the form.
The Tarrant County Clerk publishes the form among its Popular Forms, but the form itself does not say who must use it, and it lists no exclusions. It also does not set out any separate procedure for a representative signing for the applicant: the signature line is for the applicant. If another office or agency has asked you for this affidavit, confirm with that office that this Tarrant County Clerk version is the one it wants.
When to file Affidavit of Age and Identity – Tarrant County, TX
The form prints no due date, so the moment that matters is the signing. The closing block records the day the statement is subscribed and sworn before the notary, and the body says the applicant personally appeared before the notary. The affidavit is therefore completed on the day the applicant and the notary are together. Prepare the printed or typed entries first, such as the State, County, name and date of birth, and leave the signatures and the notary block for the meeting. Any deadline for turning in the affidavit comes from whoever asks you for it, not from the form.
How to fill out Affidavit of Age and Identity – Tarrant County, TX
Enter the State and County
At the top, write the name of the State after "THE STATE OF" and the name of the County after "COUNTY OF". These show where the oath is taken.
Write the applicant's name
In the sentence beginning "Before me, the undersigned authority," enter the applicant's name on the line labeled (name of applicant).
Enter the date of birth
On the line labeled (MM/DD/YYYY), write the applicant's verified date of birth in that format.
Print the affiant's full legal name
On the line Print Full Legal Name of Affiant, print the applicant's full legal name so that it matches the name in the body of the form.
Sign in front of the notary
Sign on the Signature of Applicant line only when you are with the notary public, because the form is sworn before the notary.
Leave the notary block to the notary
The notary completes "Subscribed and sworn to before me on this day of, 20", signs on the Signature of Notary Public line and applies the Seal.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Signing the affidavit before you meet the notary public; the form says the applicant personally appeared and that the statement was subscribed and sworn before the notary.
- Writing the date of birth in a format other than MM/DD/YYYY, the format printed under the date line.
- Leaving the State or County blank at the top, so the notary block does not show where the oath was taken.
- Printing a name on the affiant line that differs from the applicant name written in the body of the form.
- Handing in the form without the notary's signature or seal, both of which the form calls for.
- Leaving the date of the oath ("this day of, 20") blank in the notary block.
