Issue in the Surname - Is Missing Space a problem

[innovinity]

Hi,

I am gearing up for my Skilled Worker visa application from abroad and I have noticed an issue with my degree certificate.

My Surname consists of two words and on my passport, these two words are separated using a space whereas, on my degree certificate, the space is missing.

Example:
Surname on Passport: John Dee
Surname on Degree Certificate: JohnDee

I would be sending my degree certificate to Ecctis and then to UKVI as part of my skilled worker visa application.

I can try to get my name corrected on the degree certificate but this will take some time.

I was wondering if the missing space is an issue?
Should I write an explanatory note pointing out the difference stating errors from the university?
Should I also ask my employer to add my Full Name + Surname without the space on the CoS as an alternative name?

Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

That's not a problem. Your official name is what you have on your government documents like your Passport and birth certificate. Those little errors can be explained away as simple typos.
