Prepare Your Documents
With Care
Use this general checklist as a starting point. The precise documents depend on the reason for change, the applicant and the relevant authority’s current instructions.
✓ Check that the old name and proposed name are written consistently throughout your paperwork.
✓ Use clear, readable copies and verify whether originals or self-attested copies are needed.
✓ Confirm whether photographs, declarations or additional supporting records are required.
✓ Verify the recipient and purpose before sharing sensitive identity documents.
