Patronymic name in UK citizenship application
Posted: Sun Aug 21, 2022 9:18 pm
Hi,
I’m applying for British citizenship and have got 2 questions regarding my name.
1. Home office says: “Enter your name, as shown in your current passport or travel document. Use the English spelling of your name where provided. If you have a patronymic name include it with your given names. You must tell us all your given names.” However my patronymic name is not translated into English it’s written in russian. Only first name and surname are in English. Do I still need to write my patronymic name using my own translation? FYI On my first two leave to remain visas I had my patronymic name written, but ILR doesn’t have it.
2. Passport office issues British passport only on the exactly the same name written in your foreign passport to avoid frauds etc. But what happens if I apply with Russian passport but I also have a Ukrainian passport where my name and surname have a different spelling and there’s no patronymic name at all.
Thank you
