Hi everyone,

I'm an international student from Bangladesh applying for the Sept/Oct 2026 intake for a BSc in Mathematics (targeting USM and XMUM). I have a slight issue with my documents.

My SSC and HSC certificates have "MD" in my name, but my Passport and NID do NOT have "MD". Also, my mother's name is spelled "Akhter" on my certificates, but "Akter" on the passport.

I am currently getting a "One and the Same Person" affidavit from a First Class Magistrate Court, which I will also get attested by the Ministry of Law and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in my country.

My question is:

1. Will EMGS accept this MOFA-attested affidavit during the document vetting (15%) stage?
2. Has anyone here (especially from Bangladesh or South Asia) successfully gotten their VAL with a similar name mismatch issue using an affidavit?

Any real-world experience or advice would be highly appreciated. Thanks!
