If there is a difference between the name on the register and the proof of identity documentation used, additional documentation must be obtained, such as an official certificate evidencing a name change, or a statutory declaration by the interested party, as evidence the party named on the record of title and the photographic ID is one and the same person.
If there is a difference in the name between the register and a Death Certificate, this should be reconciled in the statutory declaration that supports the application for Transmission. Similarly, if there is a difference between the applicant’s name on the Register and their Proof of Identity, this too should be reconciled in the applicant’s statutory declaration.
