Please guys help me,I don't know if an affidavit is required of me or not when doing clearance in the university.The thing is that my name was written as "Abdul-hamid" on birth cert. and waec cert..but with regards to utme and post utme it is "Abdulhamid".I don't know if i would need an affidavit or not.If so,what would it state?Your comment would be greatly appreciated.

You should get an affidavit for that.

I have seen instances in which something seemingly so minor cost some guys an admission spot or stuff as important as that.

Now, although I have never had to make an affidavit of such nature myself, I think I have seen a number of such in the newspapers and mags that I have bought in the past.

Such affidavits would usually state to whosoever is concerned that both "Abdul-Hamid(as in your case) and "Abdulhamid" refer to the same person(and "are one and the same person" ) and that all previous documents "remain valid".

Get a copy of P*nch newspaper and you might have a fair idea as to what I am talking about. I believe such affidavits are usually known as Affidavit of One And The Same Person

Just relax and proceed calmly. Visit a court ASAP.

I still don't see why this guy should do an affidavit
