Middle Names

Hi,

I just ordered a Rail Pass. The online form did not ask for a "Middle Name", so I instrinctively only filled in my first name.

However, I realize now that on my passport I have three names listed (in this country we actually have not one but two Middle Names, and as it happens we rarely - if ever - use those Middle Names on forms). In other words my passport has three consecutive names listed in the category "Given Names".

Could you tell me whether this will be a problem while using the Rail Pass?

Thank you for your help.

Hi there,

You should be fine. Anecdotally, I know this sometimes happens and I've never heard of it causing a problem.

However, if you would like to be sure and you placed your order with jrpass.com, contact our support team at: support@jrpass.com with your order reference number and they will be able to amend your order.

Hope this helps!
