An Illinois Affidavit of Identification is a document used to confirm identity in the state of Illinois. It is typically used in cases involving real estate transactions, the transfer of property, court proceedings, or other legal matters. The affidavit is signed by the affine (the person who swears to the identity of the individual in question) and a notary public. There are two main types of Illinois Affidavit of Identification: the General Affidavit of Identification and the Special Affidavit of Identification. The General Affidavit of Identification is used when an individual needs to prove their identity for a variety of purposes. This affidavit must include the affine's name, address, signature, and date the affidavit is sworn. It must also include the individual's full name, address, date of birth, and signature. The Special Affidavit of Identification is used when an individual needs to prove their identity in order to open a bank account or establish a business. This affidavit must include the affine's name, address, signature, and date the affidavit is sworn, as well as the individual's name, address, date of birth, and signature.
