1.7 & 1.8 Questions
Posted: Fri Mar 17, 2017 8:56 am
Dear members,
I’ve just started to fill in the application form; and came across the first point that’s confusing me.
1.7 /1.8
I’m a EEA national, originally from Sri Lanka (obtained nationality through naturalisation when I was 2; when both my parents did). My name on my birth certificate at that time was slightly different from what it is when I obtained the EEA nationality. This had to with; how my parents decided to short the names for confinience purposes; and in Sri lanka it’s common to use the fathers first name as the family name. Long story short: I have not been known on any official documents by those names since I obtained the EEA nationality (nor in the specific EEA country or UK).
The name was for example:
First names: Arunya Charlinyffy; Surname: Kavipillai (Fathers first name: Francis; Surname :Kavipillai); after naturalisation my name has become: Arunya Charliny with the surname: Francis).
Do I have to inform about this? The only reason why I’m thinking of not doing is; is I believe I have to provide proof of this; which is going to be a pain to obtain. And as evidence/proof of identity I am providing my licence; and all the passports (expired ones) etc as well; which are all in the same name. I’m planning not to include my birth certificate as proof of identity (as this would only trigger confusion, I believe).
Your opinion and advice is highly appreciated.
