Different transliterations of last name

[Crossed_fingers 128]

Hello. All of my husband's official documents written in his native Arabic spell his last name a certain way. When transliterated, his name sometimes appears with a space in the last name, and sometimes with a hyphen, like "Al Jazeera" versus "Al-Jazeera." For instance, his birth certificate has a hyphen. His passport has a space. Our certified translation of our marriage license has a hyphen. He has never officially changed his name or requested that it have or not have the hyphen; it just seems to be a ####### shoot each time he picks up an official document in Morocco (where many documents are written in French, or in both French and Arabic) which way the name will be transliterated.

I have two related questions.

1) Is this a good time to make use of the "Other Names Used" line on the CR-1 forms? It seems like in other threads where members have used that line, they've had to provided some documentation showing when the person legally changed his or her name, which does not apply here.

2) Will this cause any problems? I think we'll go with the version of the name on the passport, without hyphen, but then our marriage license has the hyphen. However, it IS just a matter of punctuation in a transliterated name..... Any ideas?

Thank you!
