I’ve read this before but yesterday it kind of jumped out at me… from Ed’s response about documents:
“- If the name on your birth certificate does not exactly match the name on your passport (for example, you married or divorced and changed your name), a certified (and apostilled) copy of the marriage license, divorce decree or other documents providing an explanation of the difference in names.”
I’m Roman Catholic and received a middle name when I was maybe 14. No middle name on the birth certificate, but the passport and other documents include the middle name. I don’t know of any documents that came with it, and haven’t found any paperwork about it. So, assuming that I’m not the first one ever…. how do you get the documentation for this? I’m also nowhere close… on the other side of the country now, maybe 3,000 miles away. Any ideas? dave
