Short answer

Compare the confirmed application spelling with labels and source records, explaining legitimate variants before send. Compare the spelling of each applicant's name across the form, selected records and final attachment labels. Pause the check if a name difference remains unexplained or a corrected label no longer matches the selected record.

Key points

Finalise the name spelling consistency handoff

Use the applicant's confirmed spelling consistently in the application and labels, while preserving the wording of source records. Explain any legitimate variation rather than silently altering the original.

Useful context

Reconcile name spelling across the final rental file

The final check should distinguish a confirmed typo from a genuine source variation and leave original records intact.

This workflow deals with pack-wide consistency at final review, not correction of a single live field after follow-up.

Working checklist

Review name spelling consistency in a useful order

Record legitimate differences without rewriting the source and review the final uploaded version.

Use the checklist to connect name spelling consistency to the current person, property and source.

  • Application name: use one reviewed rendering consistently across fields while preserving source spellings.
  • Record name: distinguish the current name spelling consistency record from superseded copies.
  • Explained difference: point to the exact spelling variation and its source instead of writing a general name-consistency statement.
  • Attachment label: identify the reviewed file or version used for name spelling consistency.
  • Final version: keep the selected filename and its visible contents aligned.
