If the name on the immigration document differs from the name on other evidence filed for a Social Security number, treat the Social Security number in the name on the immigration document as long as the name can be derived from the other evidence (e.g., foreign passport). Other versions of the name that appear on other required documents must appear in the Enumeration System Alternative Names fields after RM 10205.130. If the required documents contain very different names, do not accept evidence to process the Social Security Number application. In these cases, the applicant must provide SSN proof showing the same name or provide proof of name change after the immigration document is issued in accordance with RM 10212.010. The only time you can process an application for a Social Security Number under a name that does not match the name on the immigration document is if the person has legally changed their name after the immigration document was issued. In these situations, the official name is the name given on the proof of name change.
For more information on proof of a name change, see RM 10212.010. The official name is the name used to sign legal documents, deeds or contracts. Fictitious surname used for an unknown or anonymous person, or for a hypothetical person in an illustration. Because a person`s middle name or suffix is not considered part of the legal name by SSA, a middle name that appears in the first name, or a suffix that appears in the last name, may be omitted or entered in the middle name and suffix fields of the census system. If the applicant has a multi-part first name and does not claim to have a middle name, the multiple parts must be entered as a first name. Less commonly, other surnames ending in -oe have been used when more than two unknown or unidentified individuals are named in U.S. court cases, for example, Poe v. Snyder, 834 F.Supp.2d 721 (W.
D. Mich. 2011),[18] whose full style is Known legal cases named after placeholders include (but are not limited to): Translate the first and last names on documents submitted as proof of Social Security Number into first or last name of the NSS application as follows: NOTE: The middle name and suffix, even if they are not part of the legal name according to the definition of SSA, it should be used to resolve situations where the identity of the applicant or holder of the number is in doubt. In other English-speaking countries, generic names, numbers or unique code names are more commonly used in the context of police investigations. This included the United Kingdom, where the use of “John Doe” originated in the Middle Ages. However, the legal term John Doe injunction or John Doe order[4] has survived in English law and other legal systems influenced by it. Other names such as “Joe Bloggs” or “John Smith” were sometimes used informally as placeholders for an ordinary man in the UK, Australia and New Zealand. however, these names are rarely used in legal or police circles in the same sense as John Doe.
The use and selection of pseudonyms is not standardized in U.S. courts. The practice was rare before 1969 and is sometimes rejected for legal reasons. (1) A fictitious name used at the time of bringing the action for the parties, i.e. substitute litigants. In some cases, the pseudonym John Doe is used to protect the plaintiff`s anonymity, but more commonly, John Doe preserves the plaintiff`s claim by representing an unknown defendant (i.e., a fictitious defendant) while the plaintiff tries to determine the defendant`s true name. Although some state laws and rules of procedure provide that parties may be referred to as “fictitious names,” neither the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure nor the Judicial Code provide federal courts with due process guidelines for the use of doe parties. Nevertheless, since the mid-1960s, federal litigants have increasingly named parties doe in civil suits, forcing courts to try to reconcile doe practice with the inconsistent rules of federal civil procedure.
As a result, different courts set different standards for this practice. In the majority of federal courts, the use of Doe defendants is viewed negatively, but courts have recognized that the defendant may be referred to by a fictitious name in unusual circumstances. There may be events outside the United States that are considered by foreign governments or U.S. agencies (e.g., the Department of State) when issuing immigration documents with a person`s legal name.

The names “John Doe” (or “John Do”) and “Richard Roe” (with “John Roe”) were regularly used in English legal instruments to meet technical requirements of position and jurisdiction, perhaps as early as the reign of King Edward III (1327-1377).
[8] Although the reasons for Doe and Roe`s decisions are unknown, there are many suggested folk etymologies. [9] Other fictitious names for a person involved in litigation in medieval English law were “John Noakes” (or “Nokes”) and “John-a-Stiles” (or “John Stiles”). [10] The Oxford English Dictionary notes that John Doe is “the name given to the plaintiff`s fictitious tenant in the mixed exclusion action (now obsolete in Britain), citing the fictional defendant Richard Roe.” [9] In general, this is not a mistake. If your passport does not contain a surname (last name) or first name (first name), the U.S. Department of State will place the name in place of the last name. Without a first name, the first name is unknown or “FNU”. Last name = full surname, surname or surname, which can have more than one party. A suffix (for example, Junior, II, Senior) may also appear in the surname. At present, there are no judicial rules on the use of pseudonyms. The Code of Civil Procedure. silence on the matter.
Paragraph (a) of the Code of Civil Procedure reads as follows:”. In the complaint, the title of the action must contain the names of all parties … The rule does not provide guidance on what parties should do to keep their names confidential. [27] John Doe (male) and Jane Doe (female) are reusable placeholder names used when a person`s real name is unknown or intentionally obscured. [1] [2] [3] In the context of law enforcement in the United States, these names are often used to refer to a corpse whose identity is unknown or unconfirmed. These names are also often used to refer to a hypothetical “everyman” in other contexts, similar to John Q. Public or “Joe Public”. There are many variations of the above names, including John Roe, Richard Roe, Jane Roe, Baby Doe and Janie Doe or Johnny Doe (for kids). Given name(s) = full first name and middle name, each of which may consist of more than one part; and We do not consider the middle name or suffix to be part of the legal name. Whether the middle name or suffix is included on evidence documents filed with an SS-5 (Social Security Number Card Application) does not matter. John Doe is a fictional name generally used for men, Jane Doe is usually used for women. There are a few additional variants, such as John Roe, Richard Roe, Jane Roe, Baby Doe, Janie Doe, and Johnny Doe (for kids). In 1997, NYPD discovered a decapitated body and could not find the killer.
The body was named Peaches (murder victim) and also Jane Doe 3. A trial usually bears the names of the people involved. If the name of a party is unknown, the clerk of the court may order that the person be identified as a fictitious name in the litigation documents. It can also be done to hide the identity of a person who would suffer needlessly if their name were known – for example, the name of a parent giving a child up for adoption, or the name of a teenager charged with a crime.
