Document background
A Dual Name Affidavit is essential in Hong Kong's bilingual society where individuals frequently use both Chinese and English names in different contexts. This legal document becomes necessary when an individual needs to formally establish that multiple names refer to the same person, particularly important for legal, financial, or official transactions. The affidavit must comply with Hong Kong's legal requirements, including the Oaths and Declarations Ordinance, and typically requires authentication by a Commissioner for Oaths. It's commonly used when dealing with banks, government agencies, educational institutions, or in situations where formal identity verification is required. The document includes detailed personal information, declarations of name usage, and often requires supporting documentation to validate the claim.
