Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Affidavit of One and the Same Person?
It is a sworn statement identifying multiple records or name variants as referring to the same individual. It is commonly used when historical, civil, immigration, citizenship, or family records do not use one identical name form.
Is this different from a name-discrepancy affidavit?
Yes. A name-discrepancy affidavit usually focuses on a specific spelling or formatting inconsistency. A one-and-the-same affidavit can address a broader chain of records, including maiden names, anglicized names, aliases used in historical records, or multiple variants across generations.
Will the affidavit need notarization or an apostille?
That depends on the document, issuing jurisdiction, destination country, receiving authority, and how the affidavit will be used. The Milano Seal reviews the matter before confirming the execution and authentication path.
