what is an Affidavit for verification of name?
An affidavit for verification of name is a legal document used to verify the minor contradiction in personal names.
For example, if your name on the Birth certificate is Isack John Marko but on the academic certificate is Isack John Samwel you may swear/affirm this affidavit just to tell a person to whom it may concern that, despite that difference, all names are yours and you use them interchangeably.
An affidavit for verification of name is used in transactions like opening a bank account, obtaining a loan from a bank, etc.
In most cases, this affidavit is used by those who do not wish to completely change their names.
if you wish to completely change your name either from Isack John Marko to Isack John Samwel or vice versa you must use a deed poll.
See a sample of a deed poll to change your name.
