First name/given name doubt

[Blue.Genie]

Hello,

I'de like first to thank you for this informative forum. I truly attribute a lot of my knowledge to the members here.

I have a doubt regarding the first name. I have an Arabic name and the way they do it in this part of the world is they combine first name, father's and grandfather's name all together. So in my passport it's formatted as following:

Name: First Name + Father's + Grandfather's
Last Name: Grandfather's name

I know this way may seem odd in the west, but they follow this tradition here so that they are able to trace one's ancestors.

The question is should I type my first name in the EE application as my given name only or should I type it as per the passport (First+father's+Grandfather's). My birth certificate does distinguish between given name and father's.

If your passport includes "son of" or "daughter of," or "bin" or "bint" and your father’s name in the top or bottom portions of your passport, do not enter this text or your father’s name in either of the name fields of the application form.

For example, if your passport indicates Ahmad bin Husain bin Muhammad in one field, please enter the Family Name as Husain and the Given Name as Ahmad.

If your passport indicates a filial relationship with "ibn," "ben" or "ould wuld," and your father’s name in the upper or lower portions of the page, please do not enter this or your father’s name in either name field when you are completing the application form.

For example, if your passport indicates Husain Ould Ahmad Ould Muhammad in one field, please enter the Family Name as Ahmad and the Given Name as Husain.

my suggestion is you update based on your passport .. Given name goes to your First Name and Last Name as in Last name of your passport .. Birth certification is requested only for child dependents so you are good ..
