KEY POINTS

• According to the rules, names that could offend, contain symbols, or breach trademark or copyright laws are all off-limits.
• The name on a customer's passport application must also match the name on their UK or overseas supporting documents, such as their birth certificate.

The UK Home Office recently denied a seven-year-old boy's passport application due to concerns over copyright issues surrounding his name, putting a much-anticipated family holiday at risk.
