Identity Confirmation
In some instances we draft legal documents to give validation to someones identity, eg Affidavit of Identity, Statement of Fact, Statutory Declaration of Change of Name, Affidavit or other legal papers. This is likely when there are discrepancies in the names or dates of birth or there is a lack of governmental evidences to support the applicant’s identity.
