With the Passport Office in the news at the moment I decided to check mine well in advance of the holidays and only now noticed that they have my surname spelled wrong. Although I have travelled using it without a problem I'm wondering should it be changed to avoid any complications - especially if i use RyanAir - I believe from other posts that they are very strict ?
I can't understand how they could got it wrong - i think the name is required in about 4 places in block capitals on the app form and also a signature.
If it were to be amended I presume it would be free of charge ??
An alternative is when you book your flights then book with the name as it is spelt on the passport and you shouldn't have a problem. Once the flight booking and passport name match then there won't be an issue I think.
Thanks for that ... I emailed them today , can wait for their reply cos i'm not in a hurry. I would expect them to replace it free because I reckon I didnt get what I paid for (although I do take the point that I can just misspell my name when booking flight

Iv been to US, Germany, UK, Spain and India, the only person to say anything about it was a girl at the check-in desk in Boston when returning.
The Indians just gave out about the coffee stain along where the staples are
