I had a question regarding how to put the first and last names for passports that don't have separate spaces for the two. Specifically Malaysian passports in this case.
What I mean is that for many passports like those of the US, you have a separate space for first name and last name, but for Malaysia you only have one long line that says "Name."
This wouldn't be a problem normally, but in my case the passport's name is "[English first name] [last name] [Chinese first name]" all in one line, and so I've been having problems because if I only put, for example, "Michael" and "Tan" in the first and last names, then I have my Chinese name remaining and it's not really my middle name either.
What should one do in these situations? Should I just stick to the first and last name?
P<MYS
. All your names should appear with<
between each of them. AFAIK most travel situations expect only the first two (if there even are as many as two) to be used. The interesting bit is that countries with surnames list the surname first, but it appears Malaysia does not necessarily do so.P<MYS<MICHAEL<TAN<YING<QIN
, so would that mean I should write Michael as my first name and only Tan as my last?
