One and the Same Person Declaration

If there's a mismatch in your name (ie, your name on your passport and another document are different), it's likely that you must provide a declaration stating that you are the "one and the same person".

Like many of our other clients from India, this commonly can happen when:

• Your name on your passport and your drivers licence is different. If you're attempting to convert your Indian Driver Licence to a driver licence in Australia, but your name on your Indian Passport and your name on your Indian Driver Licence are different, you must follow the IDLV process through VFS. As part of this process, we'll prepare the IDLV affidavit in which you declare that you're the one and the same person. We also provide a notary certificate stating that you're the one and the same person.

• Your name on your passport and your name appearing on your education documents or qualifications are different. If you want to rely on your education document or qualifications for any purpose, but the name on your passport (or another form of primary identification) is different, you may need evidence that you're the one and the same person. Unless there are specific evidence requirements, you can sign a declaration stating that you're the one and the same person. We generally don't prepare this declaration for you, but we can witness your signature and notarise your declaration. If you want to know what to include in the declaration, you should ask the intended recipient whether they have a specific template or sample wording so that you can prepare your own declaration.

• You have legally changed your name. If you've legally changed your name, you can rely on the change of name certificate issued by the registry in Australia. The certificate evidence confirming that you have changed your name. This will be valid in Australia and can be valid in other countries if it has been notarised and/or stamped with an apostille or authenticated and legalised. For more information about the apostille, or authentication and legalisation, please refer to our website and the services that we offer. In addition to the change of name certificate, you can also make a declaration that you're the one and the same person. Again, we don't prepare this declaration for you, but we can witness  your signature and notarise your declaration.

• You have married and adopted your spouses name. The naming convention in Australia acknowledges and recognises that people can adopt the name of their spouses. Traditionally, this involves the bride/wife taking the family name of the groom/husband. We acknowledge that with many Indian couples, the husband's name becomes part of the wife's name (regardless of whether the wife originally had a surname). Adopting a spouse's name after marriage does not require a formal change of name. A marriage certificate is usually sufficient evidence to adopt your spouse's name.  In addition to the marriage certificate, you can also make a declaration that you're the one and the same person.

In most cases, the issue arises in Australia if there's a difference between the name on your passport and any other identification or document. This is because in Australia, in the absence of a national identity framework, the passport is the most widely accepted form of primary identification (aside from the drivers licence or photocard).

If you're sending documents from Australia to India, we also recommend using your passport as your primary identification. Some documents will require your passport number to be verified, while others may refer to your Aadhaar card or PAN card or OCI (if you're no longer an Indian citizen). For our purposes, we'll rely on your passport to identify you and we'll write your passport details on your document as part of the notarisation.

Can I sign Form J in front of a Justice of the Peace?

If you live in New South Wales (and you intend to lodge Form J with the VFS office in Sydney), then you cannot sign Form J in front of a justice of the peace. As a NSW resident, Form J must be attested by a notary public. This means you must sign Form J in front of a notary public who will verify your identity and witness your signature.

Form J is required when you have changed your appearance. Sometimes you may have aged (ie, matured) especially if your previous passport photograph was taken when you were a child. Sometimes it's because you previously wore a turban but no longer wear a turban (or you previously didn't but now you do). For some, it's because they've changed their hairstyle or facial hair. Whatever the case may be, if you think you might look different now from what you do (or did before) in your passport photograph, then you may need to submit Form J with whatever other documents you intended to file with VFS.

As a leading provider of notary public services in Sydney, we help many clients with notarising Form J. If you also need help, you must make an appointment, bring your completed Form J with your photograph, and you must sign it in front of our notary public. Our notary public will verify your identity according to your photo identity (ie, passport or driver licence) and witness you sign Form J.

Applying for Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) from VFS

What's an Overseas Citizen of India?

A foreign national, - (i) who was a citizen of India at the time of, or at any time after 26th January, 1950; or (ii) who was eligible to become a citizen of India on 26th January, 1950; or (iii) who belonged to a territory that became part of India after 15th August, 1947; or (iv) who is a child or a grandchild or a great grandchild of such a citizen; or (v) who is a minor child of such persons mentioned above; or (vi) who is a minor child and whose both parents are citizens of India or one of the parents is a citizen of India - is eligible for registration as OCI cardholder.

Besides, spouse of foreign origin of a citizen of India or spouse of foreign origin of an Overseas Citizen of India Cardholder and whose marriage has been registered and subsisted for a continuous period of not less than two years immediately preceding the presentation of the application is also eligible for registration as OCI cardholder. However, no person, who or either of whose parents or grandparents or great grandparents is or had been a citizen of Pakistan, Bangladesh or such other country as the Central Government may, by notification in the Official Gazette, specify, shall be eligible for registration as an Overseas Citizen of India Cardholder.

- https://ociservices.gov.in/

What's the benefit of being an OCI?

• Multiple entry, multi-purpose lifelong visa to visit India;
• Exemption from reporting to Police authorities for any length of stay in India; and
• Parity with NRIs in financial, economic and educational fields except in the acquisition of agricultural or plantation properties.

Applying for OCI in Sydney

In Australia, applications to become an OCI must be submitted through VFS.

If you live in New South Wales, in support of your OCI application, you must have your various supporting documents attested by a notary public. 

Notary public services for OCI application

As a leading provider of notary public services in Sydney, we help many clients who are submitting their OCI applications to VFS. Documents that we commonly attest to support the OCI application include:

• Copies of passports
• Copies of birth certificates
• Copies of marriage certificates
• Copies of driver licence
• Copies of utility bills
• Statutory Declarations and Affidavits

Each person must submit their own application (and their own set of attested documentation). Submitting an application on behalf of your child will require additional documents from each parent as well.

Declaring that you're the one and the same person

How do you prove that you're the one and the same person?

There are various reasons why you need to be able to prove that you're the one and the same person, especially when it comes to dealing with VFS. In this article, we address the two main requests that we receive from clients - namely, Form J and the IDLV process.

Form J - Statutory Declaration for Change of Appearance

For some people, they've changed their appearance and therefore VFS requires them to file Form J. For example, if you've grown/cut your hair, if you previously wore a turban, if you were a child but now are an adult, or you've had an accident or surgery that changes your appearance.

Previously, Form J could be signed in front of a justice of the peace however, after recent changes (in 2020) that's no longer the case. Even though the form hasn't changed and it still refers to a justice of the peace, if you live in New South Wales, you must declare and sign this form in front of a notary public. The notary public must notarise your form before you can submit it to VFS. If you're not sure about what to do with the form or how it should be signed, please visit the VFS website or contact them for more information.

We assist many clients by taking their declaration (that they have changed their appearance), witnessing them sign the form and notarising the form. Unfortunately (as of August 2021) we've had to suspend this service due to the current restrictions and stay-at-home orders from the NSW Government, but as soon as these restrictions have been lifted we intend to resume these services.

IDLV - Indian Drivers Licence Verification

If you want to convert your Indian drivers licence to a NSW drivers licence and you want to have your past driving history recognised here (so that you don't have to start again with a learners licence), you may need to follow the IDLV process from VFS.

If your name on your passport and your Indian drivers licence aren't identical, your application must also include an affidavit declaring that you're the one and the same person which needs to be signed in front of a notary public and include an apostille stamp from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). Again, this is a process that we assist many clients with because there's always been a requirement for notarisation.

If you need help with this process, then as part of our IDLV service offering, we prepare:

• the IDLV affidavit in which you declare that you're the one and the same person
• a notary certificate in which we declare that you appear to be the one and the same person, and
• certified and notarised copies of your Indian passport and Indian drivers licence.

After your documents have been notarised and bound together, we then arrange for the apostille stamp from DFAT. As Australia and India are both members of the Apostille Convention, the apostille stamp is the formal recognition between both countries that the document has been properly notarised and will be accepted by the other without any additional authentication or legalisation.

Again, unfortunately, due to the current restrictions and stay-at-home orders from the NSW Government, we've also had to suspend these services until these restrictions have been lifted. If you're intending to submit the IDLV application to VFS, there are other things that you'll still need to do and prepare for before we can assist you. so please review the checklist first.

Attesting and notarising copies of Passports for Police Clearance Certificates

Applying for Police Clearance Certificates?

Applying for police clearance certificates requires a number of attested/notarised documents. For example:

• If your appearance has changed, you must submit Form J which has been notarised after you have signed it in front of a notary public. Form J is available for download from the VFS website (https://www.vfsglobal.com/india/australia/passport_service/pdf/Form-J.pdf). Witnessing you sign Form J means you must make an appointment to attend our office in person and sign the form in our presence. We then confirm that you are the person who signed the form and we witness your signature and notarise the form.
• If you are a foreign national, you must submit a notarised copy of your passport. You must arrange for your original passport to be presented to us. We will make a copy and notarise that copy certifying that it is a true and correct copy of the original passport.
• We also understand that some Indian nationals who do not wish to submit their original Indian passport can also submit a notarised copy of their Indian passport instead of the original.

We provide low cost fixed fee services to attest and notarise a copy of your passport. Check out our recent Google Reviews to see what others have to say about us. https://g.page/phanglegal?share

For more information about applying for the police clearance certificate from VFS, please visit their website and the relevant checklist found on their website (https://www.vfsglobal.com/india/australia/passport_service/pdf/checklist-for-pcc-updated.pdf)

UPDATE - Affidavit for the Indian Drivers Licence Verification

What is the IDLV process?

If your name in your Indian drivers licence and your Indian passport is different, you will have problems when you want to convert your licence to an Australian licence and have your previous driving experience recognised in Australia. In addition to any other requirement in the IDLV Checklist, you must also have an affidavit signed by a public notary verifying that you are the one and the same person.

As a leading provider of notary public services in Sydney, we help many clients with the IDLV process and offer 2 option for our services.

• We prepare the notary certificate and the affidavit to verify that you are the one and the same person. You would then need to apply for your own apostille from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) before submitting your application with the notary certificate, affidavit and the apostille with the rest of the IDLV Checklist requirements to VFS.
• We prepare the notary certificate and the affidavit to verify that you are the one and the same person, AND we also obtain the apostille from DFAT so that you do not have to look after that part of the process yourself. You would still need to submit your application with the notary certificate, affidavit and the apostille with the rest of the IDLV Checklist requirements to VFS.

Aside from the notary certificate which provides our verification that you are the one and the same person, the affidavit that we prepare is also your declaration that the person referred to in your Indian passport and the person referred to in your Indian drivers licence is the one and the same person.

How should you write your IDLV affidavit?

Some clients choose to write their own IDLV affidavit. If you also intend to write your own IDLV affidavit, you must include all of the relevant information required by VFS. You can follow these few suggestions.

For example, your affidavit should contain the following information:

• Your name.
• The name that appears on your Indian passport. You can include your passport number.
• The name that appears on your Indian drivers licence. You can include your drivers licence number.
• A statement that you are the one and the same person.
• A statement that you declare/swear or affirm the contents of your affidavit.

After you have prepared your own affidavit, you must sign it in front of a public notary and have it notarised before you can apply for the apostille from DFAT.

VFS Requirements (for IDLV) - We don't make the rules, we just provide the service

We don't make the rules

Many people have asked us about (complained to us about) VFS requirements for their various Indian consular services, including having documents notarised or stamped with an apostille.

Sorry, we don't make the rules. If you have any issues, concerns or complaints about the different requirements that VFS impose on their various Indian consular services, you really need to contact VFS - they make the rules, their own rules.

The bottom line is, if you want VFS to do something for you, then you need to follow their rules and satisfy their requirements. That's it - it's quite simple.

The VFS requirements are contained in their various checklists. If you need to attest a special power of attorney or general power of attorney, there's a specific checklist for that. If you need Indian Drivers Licence Verification, there's a specific checklist for that. If you need to issue a passport or you have damaged your passport and need a replacement, there are specific forms and checklists for them too.

No matter what you require from VFS in the form of Indian consular services, there's a corresponding checklist stating the requirements that you must satisfy in order to receive those services. 

IF the checklist says you need to have your documents attested by a notary public, then that's what we do. IF the checklist says you need to have your documents stamped with an apostille from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, then that's something we can arrange for you as well.

But if you're not happy with the VFS requirements for whatever Indian consular services you require, there's nothing that we can do about it. We don't make the rules.

We just provide the service

As much as we can't change the system or re-write the rules to suit your preferences, we understand your predicament and try to help you where we can - especially when it comes to notarising documents or arranging for the apostille. Instead of complaining about the requirements, maybe the more constructive approach would be to find out what's required and then trying to satisfy those requirements. If you need help, then call us.

We provide notary public services. In most cases, this means we can witness you sign documents or we can certify copies of documents for submission to VFS. If you also need an apostille from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, which is required by some consular services, then we can arrange all of that for you as well.

If you're frustrated about the process, we understand - but while we can't change the process, we can look after it for you so that you don't have to be bothered by it. That's the service that we provide.

Indian Drivers Licence Verification

For example, if you've been reading through our blog or read other articles that we've posted over the years, you'll see that we're very familiar with the process known as the Indian Drivers Licence Verification, especially when your name on your Indian Drivers Licence is different to the name that appears on your Indian Passport. In those cases, the IDLV Checklist offers you two options to verify your name/identity and one of those options is to have a notary public confirm that you are the one and the same person and to have that document stamped with an apostille. How VFS interprets that requirement has changed since we started assisting clients with satisfying the requirements in the checklist - and we've also had to change our service offering (not our pricing). To help you satisfy this requirement not only do we provide you with a notary certificate that verifies that you are the one and the same person, but we also prepare an affidavit which you would need to sign at the same time and we provide certified copies of your respective identification documents. Even if you want to try to argue that the requirements set out in the IDLV Checklist don't require all of these documents, it's better to be safe than sorry. It doesn't cost extra to include the additional documents and so we include them to avoid any reason that VFS would or could reject your application because of something that we have or haven't done in terms of the notary public service.

Sounds simple? It is when you take a step back and try to work within the system rather than against it.

So what about the apostille? Do you really need it? Yes and yes. The IDLV Checklist is very clear that you need to have your documents stamped with an apostille. The apostille is only available from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The apostille is confirmation that your documents have been properly notarised by a notary public. That's it.

It doesn't matter how much you want to complain about or resist the requirement (or the cost, time and hassle) of obtaining an apostille, it's a requirement and if you don't satisfy this requirement then VFS will reject your application.

We try to make this process as simple as possible for you and will look after the apostille process for you. We arrange to have your documents stamped with an apostille from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and returned to our office for you to collect. If you don't want this service or you don't want to pay for this service, you can always make your own arrangements. It's actually very simple. But if you want our help, that's why we're here - to help. We can look after that whole process for you from the notary certificate, the notarised affidavit, certified copies of your identification documents, and the apostille.

• Your full name and identification information.
• Your address and contact information.
• The amount you are claiming, including interest.
• Provide an affidavit confirming the information about the property, the sale agreement, the construction agreement, and associated information.
