No judgment for the recovery of money against any person may be docketed or entered until the judgment creditor, or the judgment creditor's agent or attorney, has filed with the clerk of the district court an affidavit stating the full name, occupation, place of residence, and post-office address of the judgment debtor, to the best of the affiant's information and belief, and if the debtor has a known street address, or residence number, or both, it must be given. This section does not apply to any case in which judgment is taken against a corporation, limited liability company, copartnership, public official, or party sued in a representative capacity. Failure to file such affidavit, or the filing of a defective or insufficient affidavit, does not invalidate the judgment docketed or entered, but the clerk of the district court entering or docketing a judgment without such affidavit of identification is liable to any person damaged thereby in the sum of five dollars.
