The law stated that Constantine could not be granted a > Greek passport unless he adopted a surname. | |

The number of names is one issue, date of birth and place of birth are two other criteria often used, but perhaps unknown to people coming from other countries. | |

| Aug 27, 2013 at 19:24 | comment | added | hippietrail | Actually I think this is a peculiar enough problem that it's not really as broad as it might seem. I doubt it will be a problem but you might need to explain the situation. Is it normal in your country/culture? May we ask where you're from? | |
