Naming format on passport vs on form
Posted: Wed May 17, 2017 8:07 pm
Hi all,
the naturalization form says
"
State your name as it appears on your passport:
Surname/family name:
Other names:
"
However, my name as it appears on my passport is formatted
NAME: Firstname Familyname Middlename
ie, my "middle name" looks like it's part of my surname.
Therefore, I cannot fill in the form "as it appears on my passport"...
because the naming conventions of my original country are different.
How should I fill in this form?
1) Put the correct family name in the 1st box, and put Firstname and other name IN A DIFFERENT ORDER TO MY PASSPORT in the second box?
2) Put my first name in the 2nd box, and all other names in the 1st box?
please advise, thanks
