An Affidavit of One and the Same Person is a written document that establishes that various different names found on various IDs/documents refer to one person, the Affiant. This happens because of erroneous spelling of the name, a missing first or second name, or even an additional name or other names used, etc. To establish that those IDs/documents refer to the same person despite bearing different names, an affidavit of one and the same person must be provided.
