I'm just realizing i have different names almost everywhere, e.g my Int'l Passport, my birth certificate and my results. I was given a first name, 1 middle name and a last name, but i hated my name so i came up with a new name and started going by it, then when i did my confirmation my made up name became "church official" so i did and affidavit including my two middle names. But now now my names are messed up everywhere and the bank closed my account due to the name inconsistency between the name i used in the bank and my bvn and the name on my bvn matches none of my official document because it's the short form of my long name, i also want to change my birth certificate if that's possible, i know this is very confusing but please i need advice what do i do?

Truly this is confusing.

at this juncture, the names in your affidavit should be what you go by. with the affidavit, all your certificates with your old names remain valid.

You can take the affidavit to the bank to sort out your BVN wahala.

Confusing, but all you need do is to adopt the new name you have, obtain a valid ID card with the name ( international passport, drivers license, voters card or national ID card) , ensure your affidavit states the name you changed from to the newly adopted name, as well as your date of birth , also have ready a news paper publication stating the name change.... And you'll be fine.

Simple! So hello your new new Beckham

This is so me right now. My SSCE (school candidate) result has my first name in short form, no middle name. My GCE (private candidate) result has it in long form with a middle name in tow. My marriage certificate has my first name in full with a different middle name than the one on my GCE result. Now I need to upload my results on WAEC portal for a programme. I’m combining two results with different names and my current name which is my martiage name has a different middle name and surname… even I am confused. I hope you were able to fix the mess. If you did, how? !!!!!!!!

Assuming you state those names is will be easier for one to advice you on how to go for name modifications

However, whatever you have in your certificate use it as your complete names then go to NIN of to modify your name

Take it to bank and match up with the same data, then go to Abuja with your international passport for final modifications of name
