FCS heath forms and middle names - Urgent help
Hi travellers,
I'm going to Menorca from the UK on Thursday and I have a question about FCS forms: do middle names have to be added on the forms? My middle name does appear on my passport, but not on my flight ticket. Thanks. |
I would check with the airline, but I think the name on the flight ticket has to exactly match the one on the passport.

But you’re asking about FCS… me? I’d just use my middle initial and split the difference. That way it’s consistent with both. |
I would think so, also, after all, lots of people do have the same names and that's one more check. Billy Bob Thornton is not the same person as Billy Joe Thornton, etc.
I am very surprised anyone would have not put their full legal name on their passport, since it's used as official govt ID and you are supposed to put your "full name" on it. At least in the US, it is supposed to match your birth certificate as that's what you have to show when you first get one. |

One more thing . . . regarding "At least in the US, it is supposed to match your birth certificate as that's what you have to show when you first get one." It's perfectly possible, again in my experience a number of years ago, to get a passport in the US without a birth certificate. My grandmother applied for a passport to join me in Europe. She was born in the wild west in 1896 and there was no birth certificate. The passport office used her presence in a census for proof of her birth. Another example: My son was not born in the US & I was unaware that I needed to register his birth. So when I returned to the US when he was 3 he had no proof of his birth or citizenship. There were 2 solutions, 1. petition the court in the country of his birth, or 2. have him declared a US citizen by virtue of my birth here. So he is a US citizen, has served in the military, has no birth certificate, but does have a Certificate of Citizenship. There's always a way!
