Hi everybody,



I submitted my application 2 weeks ago and I'm worried about something. My birth certificate name is different to my passport (and all other government documents, including work permits). This is simply because when I applied for a passport as a teenager, I opted to not include my middle name. This was an option at the time, not sure it is anymore. I wrote a letter of explanation and sent it with my application. But now I'm thinking they might return my application or ask for more information. I never legally changed my name and so I have no proof of this, I just simply stopped using my middle name. Is there anything I can do at the moment to ensure my application goes through okay?


Thanks
