Wrote a personal declaration about my own digital likeness rights — is this legally okay to sign?

Hi, I'm not a lawyer and English is not my first language,

so please bear with me.

I wrote a short personal declaration stating that I claim

prior rights over my own face, voice and digital likeness,

and that I do not consent to unauthorized AI-generated

replicas of me.

I added this sentence at the bottom:

"I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of

the United States that the foregoing is true and correct."

(28 U.S.C. § 1746)

My questions:

  1. Is it legally okay for a regular person to sign

this kind of declaration for themselves?

  1. Does this sentence create any legal risk for me

personally if I sign it?

  1. Is there anything I should NOT include in such

a document to stay out of trouble?

Thank you for any help. Location: Washington State, USA

With the new federal law requiring platforms to remove deepfakes within 48 hours, you need to prove it's actually you to file a notice.

Has anyone thought about registering their digital identity proactively — before something happens?

Is this something people would actually do or is it a solution looking for a problem?
