Three documents. Three different names. One person.
Your birth certificate says Rahul Kumar Sharma. Your passport says Rahul K. Sharma. Your degree certificate says Rahul Sharma. Same person. Different versions. You got a notarized affidavit from your local court proving they're all you — a "One and the Same Person" affidavit.
It's in Hindi. Completely. The notary stamp, the court jurisdiction, the declaration — all in Devanagari script. You submit it with your Canada PR application. IRCC writes back: "Affidavit not accompanied by certified English translation. Name discrepancy unresolved."
Your PR application is on hold. Your Express Entry score is locked. Your job offer abroad is waiting. And everything is stuck because your "One and the Same Person" affidavit is in a language the officer can't read.
Why Name Affidavit Translations Get Rejected
- Entirely in Hindi/Regional Language: Name affidavits from Indian notaries are always in the state language — Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, etc.
- Notary Stamp & Court Jurisdiction in Hindi: The notary's name, registration number, and court jurisdiction are in the regional language — officers can't verify its authenticity.
- All Three Name Versions Must Be Translated: The affidavit lists your birth certificate name, passport name, and degree name — all must be accurately rendered in English.
- No Certification = Rejected: USCIS, IRCC, and UKVI all require a signed Certificate of Accuracy from a neutral, certified translator.

Frequently Asked Questions
My name is the same on all documents — do I still need a name affidavit?
Check carefully. Even minor differences — "Rahul Kumar" vs "Rahul K." vs "R. Kumar" — are flagged by immigration systems. If there's any variation, you need the affidavit.
Can I get the affidavit translated at the Indian consulate abroad?
Not translation — but you can get a new affidavit abroad. However, if you already have one from India in Hindi, certified translation is faster and cheaper than getting a new one.
