'I'm furious after my passport application was refused over my name'
Speaking to Sun Online, he said: “We sent off a copy of our Australian passports, paid our fees and thought nothing of it.
“About two months later, my wife, who is from Wimbledon, received her passport, but there was no sign of mine. “Instead I got an email from the office saying that the name on my Australian passport is different than the name on my British passport. “So to renew my British passport I would have to renew my Australian passport and change the name on that.”And Riad believes the way he was treated by the passport office is racist.“I explained this to the passport office, and spent hours on the phone trying to explain this.“The passport office is out of control there just no way to contact them at all.
“I’m a British citizen. I was born a British citizen. I have always had a British passport and now all of a sudden they are saying I can’t have a British passport anymore.After The Sun contacted the Home Office in regards to his passport, they agreed to accept the name on his Australian passport.A spokesperson said: “To help prevent people from changing their identity to commit crime or evade justice, Her Majesty’s Passport Office seeks to ensure that names across passports are exactly aligned.
