Should there be a space after the Mc of my last name in my passport?
by Carol
(Minnesota)
Question: Just received my passport and last name is listed MC NEIL. It should be just one word. I want to make sure that this is not the way you do it with McNeil last name. We plan on sending it in for correction. There is also a < between MC
We paid extra for expedited service and need the passport by the 1st week of March. Is there any way to get better service without paying $60??
Answer: Since the data pages of U.S. passports are printed in block capital letters, surnames which possess a prefix will usually include a space to differentiate between the prefix and the remainder of the name.
When renewing your passport, if you would prefer that the prefix not be separated from the rest of the name, you may include a note specifying this request.
You can travel with the passport as is or you can request a passport correction in order to change the name. You can also wait until your passport needs to be renewed and make the request then.
