The Certificate of One and the Same Person is a crucial legal document in Malta's administrative and legal framework. It becomes necessary when an individual needs to establish that they have been known by different names in various official documents, whether due to marriage, legal name changes, spelling variations, or clerical errors. This certificate is particularly important for maintaining clear identity records in property transactions, banking relationships, immigration procedures, and other official matters. The document must be prepared by a qualified notary public in Malta and requires thorough verification of identity through official documentation. The certificate includes comprehensive details about all name variations, the circumstances leading to different names being used, and references to supporting documentation. Its primary purpose is to prevent administrative complications and ensure smooth processing of legal and official matters where identity verification is crucial.
