Father/Mother Name Error Affidavit Format

Reference format · Last reviewed September 2026

This is a reference format, not legal advice. Exact wording and required stamp paper value vary by state and by the authority you're submitting to. Confirm current requirements with your notary or the concerned institution before relying on this.

When You Need This

If your father's or mother's name is spelled or recorded differently across your own documents - say, your 10th marksheet records your father's name one way and your Aadhaar or birth certificate records it another way - many institutions will ask for a notarized affidavit confirming both spellings refer to the same person, before accepting the mismatched document.

This is different from your own Name Mismatch Affidavit - use this one specifically for a parent's name discrepancy, not your own.

Enter Your Details

Answer a few quick questions and we'll generate the properly worded affidavit below - typed straight into the document, no leftover "[your full name]"-style instructions when you print.

Printing on your stamp paper: This format is designed to print cleanly on plain A4. If printing directly onto purchased judicial/e-stamp paper, do a test print on plain paper first and hold it against your stamp paper to check the text doesn't overlap any pre-printed header.

How to Use This Format

  • Confirm the required stamp paper value with your notary or the institution first.
  • Keep self-attested copies of both documents showing the differing spellings ready.
  • Sign it in front of a Notary Public - do not sign it beforehand.
  • Carry a valid ID proof when visiting the notary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes - this affidavit is about your parent's name appearing differently across your documents, not your own name. If it's your own name that's spelled differently, use our separate Name Mismatch Affidavit format instead.
Typically you, the student or applicant, sign it as the deponent, since you're the one declaring that both spellings of your parent's name belong to the same person on your own records. Some institutions may additionally want your parent to countersign - check what your specific institution expects.
There is no single stamp-paper value used across India for this - it varies by state and by the authority you're submitting to. Confirm the exact value with your notary or the concerned department before buying stamp paper.
