Working checklist
Build the name difference file control
Check that the same explanation is used wherever the difference appears.
Resolve ownership, period and purpose for name difference file before deciding that the item is ready.
- Name on application: reproduce the applicant name used on the form, then identify the different name exactly as it appears on the supporting record.
- Name on source: keep source context visible rather than converting it into an unsupported assertion.
- Reason for difference: give the short factual cause of the name variation when it is known; otherwise state that it is unresolved.
- Relevant date: connect the name variation to the dated record on which it appears.
