Two names, one person β a common situation, and a specific document that resolves it.
Over the years, the same individual can end up recorded under two (or more) different names β a fuller name on a school certificate, a shorter one at the bank, an expanded initial on one card. A "One and Same Person" declaration is a formal statement that all these names refer to a single individual: you.
The declaration can take two forms, and the right one depends on what the requesting authority accepts:
| Aspect | Affidavit | Gujarat Gazette |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A sworn, notarised declaration | An official published record |
| Best when | The authority accepts an affidavit | Recognised, published proof is required |
| Newspaper ad | Not applicable | Commonly required |
Tell us both names and where you need the declaration. We advise the lightest sufficient route β an affidavit where that suffices, or a Gazette where recognised proof is genuinely required β and prepare it. See our one & same person service page.
Tell us your situation and we'll give you honest guidance β including whether a Gazette is actually needed. No pressure, no obligation.
