Sample one and same person affidavit for multiple names on education degree, passport and work experience letters. Use for Canada, Australia Visa or PR.
AM22Tech Team Updated 18 Mar, 24
Do you have a different name version on your passport, education degree, and other visa and legal documents?
If yes, then you can create a ‘One and Same Person Affidavit‘ and get it notarized to prove that all names belong to the same person.
This affidavit is also known as the ‘same name affidavit form’ and can be submitted for legal purposes such as immigration, Green card application, or PR for Australia, Canada, the UK, and other such countries.
You can either write this affidavit yourself or use an app to fill it out for you.
This article will discuss:
#1 Enter your Details
Enter your Primary name as per your current passport and then birth details.
You are also required to enter your current residential address. This address can be anywhere in the world irrespective of your birthplace or home country.
If you need help filing, use AM22Tech’s hassle-free visa extension and EAD filing service to file your application with USCIS.
Your application is filed within 1-2 days if you have all the documents ready and uploaded.
Your passport-size photos are edited and printed automatically. You just need to upload your photos online in our app and we take care of the rest.
#2 Enter Other Names
You can enter different versions of your name for yourself. This is the same as entering your alias name.
Make sure that you do not make any mistakes in the name spelling as they will be written on the affidavit PDF.
Should I consider Social media names as ‘Other Names’?
A lot of people get confused with respect to choosing which names are considered other names especially when we use different alias names on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and others.
The rules for what is considered ‘other names’ vary by country and purpose. We suggest writing all the names that you think people (your friend circle and family) know you along with your social media names.
Our suggestion is to use all names if you are not sure about the actual requirement to make the document universally acceptable.
#3 Enter Father’s Name
The last step in data entry is to fill in your father’s name. Once you are done, you can click the ‘validate and save’ button to check all your data.
If there are any errors, the app will automatically ask you to fix them.
If there are no errors, you can purchase (if applicable) the document and your affidavit will be sent to your registered email address within minutes.
Email with Affidavit
The notary will be required from your local notary to make it a legally valid document. You must sign this affidavit in front of the notary.
The notary service may be known by a different name in your place of residence like ‘Justice of peace’ in Australia, ‘Commissioner of Oaths’ in England / Wales, etc.
There are options for online notaries as well in the USA where they connect and see you sign via video call. Not all states in the US accept online notaries though.
The state of Texas in the USA allows online notaries while some counties in California accept documents notarized by online communication.
Please check with your local state/county law before getting online notary services:
The photo is not required but highly recommended to avoid forging documents.
We recommend pasting a passport-size photo (according to the passport photo rules) of your country of residence and then signing across the photo so that half of the signature appears on the affidavit.
This is a sample affidavit that arrives by email.
The app automatically adds the most recent tried and tested legal language based on your country and state of residence. All such country and state-specific formats have not been shown here due to limited space.

The notary is required for multiple name Affidavits if you intend to use them for legal purposes in court or for applying for a visa/ immigration to Canada, the USA, Australia, or other countries.

I changed my last name after marriage. Is it considered another name?The last name change after marriage is considered ‘other name’ and you should create a ‘multiple name affidavit’ to prove both names belong to the same person.
