Start this document FreeHow it works
What you will fill in
- Your full legal name (the deponent)
- Your city or town
- Your date of birth
- Place of birth
- The other names that appear on your documents
- Why are the names different?
- Who is it for?
- City where you will swear it
- Date you will swear it
Good to know
- Attach copies of the documents with the different names as exhibits. The commissioner signs each one as 'Exhibit A', 'Exhibit B'.
- This explains a difference. It does not legally change your name. To change your name in Ontario, apply under the Change of Name Act through ServiceOntario.
- IRCC and passport offices sometimes want their own declaration form: use theirs if they ask.
