The Affidavit of Arrangement of Names (often called Confirmation of Name Order) is used to resolve discrepancies in the sequence of an individual's names across different official documents.

In Nigeria, it is very common for names to be swapped (e.g., Surname appearing as First Name) in JAMB, WAEC, or bank records due to clerical errors.
Legal and Technical Importance
Discrepancies in name arrangement can lead to the rejection of visa applications, employment background checks, and professional licensing (such as medical or law school registration).
This affidavit acts as a formal legal bridge, confirming that despite the different sequences, all versions of the name belong to the same person and establishing a single 'Master Order' for all future records.
Pillars of the Document:
- Resolution of Ambiguity: Clearly identifies the incorrect sequences found in specific documents.
- Verification of Sameness: A sworn oath that the individual described in all variants is the same person.
- Master Sequence: Explicitly states the order (e.g., SURNAME, FIRST NAME, MIDDLE NAME) that should be considered correct henceforth.
