Name mismatch in Indian Birth certificate

K
#1

I am applying for Belgian citizenship soon and have a question about a name mismatch on my birth certificate.


My birth certificate shows "First Name + Father's Name + Surname," but my Indian passport and Belgian residence card only show "First Name + Last Name."


I have already obtained a "One and the Same Person" certificate from the Indian Embassy. Has anyone faced this exact situation? Did your commune accept the application, and did you successfully get your citizenship approved?
