Hi Guys, I went thru this thread however, I am still confused. Actually, I need to file WES for my wife. She has just First name in her Academic certificate. However, In her Passport, She has First Name and Last Name (Last name was added after marriage). So My question is when creating a WES profile for her then Do I need to mention Name as per Passport? If yes then What document I should provide to WES in support of telling them that She doesn't have any Last name on her Academic certificate. Please help me out here if anyone faced same issue.
This might be vary case to case but my friend had almost same case. He added the same name affidavit and he got the same name in WES as per his passport.

Hi,

I have filled WES with name on Degree certificate which is pooja s thakur
But in passport it is expanded name for 's'.
So when ECA evaluation report it is pooja s thakur which is different from name on passport.

Will it be a problem in later process?
It will be really helpful if I can get some suggestion on how to proceed further.
Did your process finish? I'm having the same issue.

Hello knoweldgeable readers,
My sister has to send her degree to WES for equivalency, the problem is her name in the degree is shorter (Sarah Mohammed) whereas name on her passport is longer as it covers full name of our father (Sarah Mohammed Khan). Can anybody please guide us whether we should attach a letter of explanation when sending the degree to WES?
Thank You!

I guess you need to submit the same name affidavit and LOE. I did the same to IRCC and my PR application has been approved.

hey guys,

my name is passport is shruti sharma and my name in educational credential (i.e. degree certificates) is sharma shruti raja. (raja being my dads first name, which is mentioned in the passport). WES states " the name on submitted academic credentials differ from the name indicated above. " and then the degree evaluation. What do i need to do now? do i need to create an affidavit or a LOE will do? since its just my name jumbled up
Hi all ,
I have first name only in my bachelors degree .
I have full name on my passport and all other documents .
While filling up the WES application it is asking for a compulsory mention of last name .
What shall I write in that section ?

Thanks in advance
