I don’t know if anyone remembers my post, but my name is off by one letter on my birth certificate. I was too scared to file for my passport and someone told me I could because my name was phonetically the same. I did apply for a name change through a court over this one letter bc I could not amend my birth certificate through the vital registrar. So I wasn’t sure if filing for the name change would hurt, help, or do nothing to my attempt to get a passport. So I just wung it and fully expected it to be denied.

This was for a new first passport paid expidited
