Laura Matthews said she changed her name 'for a bit of a laugh'
The 29-year-old, who said she added the middle name ‘for a bit of a laugh’ after a conversation with friends, was stunned when the Home Office told her they would not recognise her name.
“We have a duty to ensure the reputation of the UK passport is not called into question or disrepute,” said a spokesperson.
However, Matthews, who missed her July trip to Amsterdam because of the issue, was far from impressed.
“It’s on my driving licence, my bank cards, everything,” she said. “Everyone else is happy with that signature, apart from the passport office.”
Fortunately for the Star Wars fan, she has been told she can reapply for a new passport using her old signature and name.
