Citizenship application - names on birth certificate VS passport , any recent application status?
Hi all,
Posting here as I couldn't find a relevant post.
The name on the birth certificate does not exactly match with the passport.
Name on Birth cert:
The given name = John Doe
Family name = Smith
Name of Passport:
The given name = John
Family name = Doe
Can I submit the birth cert with along with application including a covering letter explaining that only "Smith" was removed from the whole name?
Is this technically considered as two different names?
The original birth cert at the time of birth is no longer available and a new one was obtained from a foreign embassy while workin in that foreign country.
Would DIA accept any other docs instead of birth cert? could you cite any example docs? Is NZ driver license a valid doc?
( if this was answered in other threads kindly share me the links)
Has anyone applied recently in the last month and got any status update?
Thanks so much for your valuable time.
