P60 name in different format

Post by nn92 » Mon Oct 12, 2020 10:48 pm

Firstly, I tried searching the forum but wasn’t able to find any other posts that quite covered this, so I hope this isn’t a dupe. I have a question about the format of my name across all the documentation I provide for my naturalisation, as it appears in a different format in some of it.

My first names* are AAA bbb, and my surname is CCC ddd. However, on my P60s, which I intend to use as proof of living in the UK, my name is written as:
First name: bbbb ccc
Last name: ddddd

My passport, ID card, English test, LitUK test etc. all reflect my full name, in the correct format. The only other slight exception is my correspondence from HMRC, which is addressed to AAA b cccc dddd (they have my correct name, but aren’t able to display it due to the length).

Part of the reason for the P60s being different – at least for the aaaaa being missing – is because I am known as bbb to everyone in the UK, including my employer, and perhaps more crucially, my referees. I suspect they also didn't realise that cccc was not a given or "middle" name as it's known in the UK, when registering me on the internal payroll system at work.

Will it be a problem that my P60s are addressed in this different format?

I’m hoping that a brief explanation of the situation in a covering letter will be sufficient, especially since the NI number on the P60s matches that shown elsewhere in my application, such as in correspondence from HMRC. But if anyone has any experience of this or similar situations causing problems, I’d be interested to hear.

Thanks in advance!

*names have been changed to protect the innocent!

Ok so, the aliases I used seem to have been censored out, so I'll rephrase it slightly for clarity.

My first names are Aaaaa Bbbbbbbbb and my surname is Yyyyyyyy Zzzzzzz.

However my concern is that on my P60, it is written as
First Name: Bbbbbbbbb Yyyyyyyy
Last name: Zzzzzzz

I do have correspondence from HMRC, which confirms my pay and NI number, but that's addressed to Aaaaa B Yyyyyyyy Zzzzzzz.

I'm hoping if I can explain the discrepancy in a covering letter then it shouldn't cause a problem, but would appreciate any input from people more experienced in these issues. Thanks, "Bbbbbbbbb"

As long P60 has all the other correct details especially the NI number, I do not see this an issue.
