Question regarding using capital letters in names

[veanux 0]

Hi, this if my first post here and I hope you can shed some light on the following:

 

Suppose my first name is Juan, my second name is Pedro and my last name is Casa (not my real names but similar because they are spanish names). As far as I am concerned I have always written the following phrase when asked about my name: "Juan Pedro Casa". So when I was asked to type this information in the entry form of the visa lottery I did exactly like that.

 

The problem is that I have just read that names must be typed exactly as in the passport, and in my passport they are in the following format "JUAN PEDRO CASA". So I'm already freaked out that my entry is no longer valid.

 

The letters are the same and in the same order. The only difference is that  I used capital letter in the first letter only (Juan) , instead of using them to write all the letters (JUAN).

 

Does it matter? Is it still valid?

 

Thank you very much and hope this is readable as clearly english is not my mother tongue!

When asked to write as in passport it doesn't mean in all caps. It means how your name is arranged and how it is spelt.

Thank you very much for your answer. If that is the case then I should be fine in the sense of not getting my entry dismissed. Cheers!

Yeah relax, it’s just spelling they mean. Good luck with your entry!

but make sure, in the entry form they ask for the family name in the first field then your first name then after that the second name
