Family Name Issue

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I have this small query in regards to how to fill the Family name in the 189 e-Visa/Visa application forms.

In my passport my Family name is blank and both my name and surname are present in the 'Given Name'' column.

So, should I write my whole name (Name+Surname) in the 'Family Name' column of the application or in the 'Given Name' or split them and write them up. I have a common surname(Singh) which is the issue here. Any help is appreciated.

What does your birth certificate show? what do other forms of identity show such as driving license? Is the passport entry an error? Would think that birth certificate and passport details should match unless you have a marriage certificate or deed poll name change certificate to explain a difference. DIAC form filling is mind numbing as it is without having different names on documents! You should make sure your name appears the same on all major documents.... it'll protect your sanity in the long term. Good luck.
