When do I need an NBI clearance?

However, I think what they are looking for is later in life, if someone decided to commit some crime, maybe they could resort back to their original name to do this keeping their true, current name clean.  I dont know if that is correct, but how I tried to rationalize it.  

This makes a lot of sense.

I have a similar case. On my birth certificate, my surname was spelled “NATION” but my real surname is “NACION” (these are made up names but you know what I mean). I didn’t have NATION on the AKA of the clearance I submitted because I never used it ever. Plus I thought “it’s just one letter” and it wasn’t a completely different name. But when I read your post, it made sense that I have to have it written down as an AKA too, based on USEM’s standards. Will definitely get a new one for the interview with it listed too.  Thanks for sharing! 

How this came up for my wife is that the BC was left in its original condition, and the correction was added at the bottom of the BC.  At least this it how it was done on hers.  The Embassy looked on the clearance for both names, and a 221(g) was born.

That is the way they do it here.  Same for my wife; annotation at the bottom with the corrected name.

Thats what I was thinking as well.  My fiance was born illegitimate but her parents married when she was 4 which then they legitimized the birth.  I thought, she would be the first 4 and under who had a criminal record that i know of.  However, I think what they are looking for is later in life, if someone decided to commit some crime, maybe they could resort back to their original name to do this keeping their true, current name clean.  I dont know if that is correct, but how I tried to rationalize it.  

Yeah, I realize that someone may use the prior name to commit some havoc when they are older, but I liked the humor of the idea of 2 month old felon.

My wife's BC is so horribly reproduced that the annotation at the bottom is about the only thing readable, so there is a positive to correcting it that way.

Strange, same for my wife.  Black smudge over most of the original.

The CO had eagle eyes!  The annotation on mine is on the side, which will be hard to miss. So I should really get a new clearance with an additional AKA.

Hey, sorry, this post is 4 years old but just wanted to ask if the times are different now? Is it still recommended to get an NBI clearance with AKA for this scenario?

 

I was born 2003 with parents not married so I had a different name at birth, and on my birth certificate annotated on the side, it says “legitimized by virtue of subsequent marriage (and so on).”

That is common.  My wife's birth certificate was the same. You should ask for an AKA on your NBI Clearance with your mother's surname.
