Somebody else pointed me to this very interesting page that the Canadian |
| 17 |
government has, with examples of interesting passport variations: |
| 18 |
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/identity-management/naming-procedures/names-structures-record-them-gcms.html#single-name |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
These would clearly satisfy the "government issued document" |
| 21 |
requirement, being a passport, so Gentoo should accept all forms of the |
| 22 |
name that match. |
