I have received my Certificate of Naturalisation a few weeks ago and I have already attended the citizenship ceremony. Annoyingly there is a mistake on my Certificate - not in my painfully long Romanian name which (surprisingly) was written with commendable correctness. My first two given names (first name and middle name) have also been added erroneously underneath the Full Name line, in the rubric 'Name at birth if different'. My name was not different at birth and I have never mentioned any such name, so this must be some sort of clerical blunder. The rubric 'Name at birth if different' should be blank.
My question is - given that this doesn't seem to be a major or important mistake - should I get this Certificate corrected (and have that made-up name removed in 'Name at birth if different')? Or could I apply for the passport now with my Certificate as it is, and worry about the Certificate accuracy later - or not at all?
I was thinking that if the British Passport does not mention any such different name at birth (nor does indeed my current Romanian passport), perhaps I should not worry about this silly misprint in the Certificate. But I may be wrong.
I would be very grateful indeed for some advice!
