This link has information regarding passport name change, again, you can omit your middle name while introducing yourself. Many south indian asians have similar dilemma with their long three four word names, they just shorten it in day to day life, but Passports etc show full proper names.RedMoon wrote:Good point fwd079,
I will not be presenting naturalisation certificate around too much. However, I will be presenting the passport a lot.
Can I omit my middle name when applying for a passport (or would it require me to put the middle name exactly as it appears on the naturalisation certificate)?
I have four names and on my LIUK letter (certificate) there's only two (first and last). However when I applying for the citizenship I entered all four because it has to match the name on my passport.RedMoon wrote:Hi everyone,
Got a quick question: I would like to "loose" my middle name on the naturalisation application/certificate as it is very difficult to spell and pronounce.
My middle name appears on both my current EU passport and national ID card.
When booking Life in the UK test one of the instructions stated that if you omit your middle name if it appears on your passport you will not be allowed to take the exam.
Is it also the case for naturalisation application i.e. if I omit my middle name are they going to be extremely strict and reject the application? Or they are with omitting it or are they going to just add it onto naturalisation certificate themselves?
Big thanks for your help.
My advice is use the name on the certificate for the passport. Once you get it change your name. If they see the names don't match with the naturalisation certificate then you are in big trouble. I might do the same after applying for the passport, but for now I am keeping all four names.RedMoon wrote:Good point fwd079,

I would strongly advise not to leave your middle name off your application as HO will ask you for documentary proof that your name has changed (deedpoll) if it does not match your foreign passport.I am still considering removing it from naturalisation application
I would follow that then and refer to the link in your explanation in Section 8 of the passport form, when you get to that stage of course.i'm wondering why at the bottom of this page they say that you don't need to send any additional documents to remove the name: https://www.gov.uk/changing-passport-in ... me-changes
