Could a different transliteration in the foreign passport be of use?

[virgen_del_rosario]

If the transliteration of the first name only get updated, in the foreign passport, would it be of use in any way? It would mess some thing up, granted, in some places. At the same time, thanks to a different transliteration, it could be useful.

Not at the entrance to a country but in other places. At a payment systems where I might've gotten flagged or banned for some reason, for instance.

What do you think?

Nope. You remain the same person, with the same dob and pob. All basic KYC systems are aware that this is a common occurrence.

So, on my new country passport, all I have to do is change my dob and pob?

They won't scan my picture?

PS. Of course, with a different name that matches the country's normal names

It depends for what purpose

Who is they?

In some countries you are legally allowed to change your name and surname, most simply in common law jurisdictions with a deed poll. That should do the trick in many circumstances.

The advance passenger information databases are quite good at linking passports to people automatically, and transliteration differences have been a known thing for quite awhile now. They link mine despite the Italian government being unable to spell my name correctly or consistently on any official document. My name is slightly different on each of my passports. I have 15 IDs with 14 different variants of my name on them. It’s only sometimes a problem and usually due to some overzealous airline desk agent.

I have never had a bank or EMI ever have any trouble dealing with transliteration differences. There are six or seven variant names across my bank accounts and other business records and there is no record fragmentation.
