Passport application question?
 

anyone that had or has past experience or the knowledge of my question to please help me out.
I have recently applied for my U.S. passport, here is what is happening I have all my documents to show proof of who I am, but there is a twist. On my drivers license I bare my first and fathers last name but on the birth certificate I bare my first name, and both my parents last name. Do you think they will deny me a passport because of this reason and if so what do you think will happen in this matter? Thanks

I don't think what it says on your drivers license has any bearing on this.

I thought that the post office sends a copy of your drivers license, with the rest of your documents for proof?

So your stating that it is ok that I have my fathers last name but not my mothers on the drivers license?

When I filled out the DS-11, I wrote exactly what was on my Birth Certificate, using both my parents last names, and also signed the form using both my parents last names.

Per this site:

It looks like a first-time applicant will have to present your driver's license as Primary Identification (see number 4) and provided photocopies. It does not state if the full names must match perfectly.

I would go to your post office and ask if the names must match.

If the names must match, you might assemble Secondary Identification from documents you have with matching names.

I mean they took my application already so it's already to late for all that. I already have a locator number from NPC, just hoping the process completes by next week, if there is no federal shut down.

You do need to be careful when you book airline tickets. The US government & hence now the airlines are more particular about names on tickets matching ID. (look up secure flight) If you are flying internationally then I recommend you use your pp as primary ID, and have the name on the plane tix match your pp. If you've already purchased your plane tix then you need educate yourself on the secure flight requirements, well before you show up at the airport.

If they already took the application your name issue should be immaterial as long as they checked on all the info on the time. After all you don;t need a license to get a passport - in big cities many people don;t have one and use other forms of ID. (When I got my first passport you had to bring with you someone who had known you for a number of years to testify who you were - since a license didn;t have a picture.)

Separately, i would get all of your ID in the same name and not switch them around - which will just confuse things one way and another down the road. Pick a name and stick with it.

Thanks. First thing I am going to do is, correct my drivers license once I have obtained the passport. From there I should be fine. :)
