An Affidavit of Discrepancy is typically required when there are variations or inconsistencies in how personal information appears across different official documents, such as passports, birth certificates, or educational credentials. This document is particularly relevant in Hong Kong's multicultural context, where names may have different translations or representations. The affidavit must comply with Hong Kong's legal requirements, particularly the Oaths and Declarations Ordinance, and should be prepared with careful attention to detail as it may be used for various official purposes, from immigration matters to financial transactions. The document includes detailed explanations of the discrepancy, supporting evidence, and a formal declaration of truth, making it a crucial tool for resolving administrative and legal issues arising from document inconsistencies.
