NAME ON PASSPORT?

INTRODUCTION
The correctness of the information in the
passport is particularly important because it
serves as a mandatory identification document
when traveling abroad. Any mistake in the name or
other details could result in the rejection of
the visa, among other problems. A passport is
required for international travel because it is
forbidden to leave the country without a current
passport. Let's look at the information on Name
