That was weird

Yesterday I discovered that my last name isn't written on any legal document of mine. Seriously not even my birth certificate 😅 they just used my father's grandpa's name.

I believe it all started at my birth certificate I guess my dad didn't type my last name while they were naming me in a foreign country. It's actually the same for one of my siblings.

But at least the names all match on everything though.
I’ve never heard of this happening 😅 I don’t think somebody could ever get away with that here in the US. Everything is so strictly ran for security purposes
@TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart How would they know lol if your photos match in your birth certificate, 2 ids and your passport then you are real lol. When they ask for my name at the airport I say for example David Jason Malek John Howard and the first 4 names match my passport who cares what the 5th name is. They take the first 4 names it just happened that my 4th name isn't my last name.
Is there a certain naming format for people from your country?
@CookieCrumbs Yes the first 4 names. It just happened that my 4th name isn't my last that's all. So if someone asks for my name in an airport or something and I tell them 5 names and the first 4 matches then it's alright.
@PiecingBabyFaceTogether
Ours is :

First Name + Mother’s Maiden Last Name + Father’s Last Name
@CookieCrumbs Cool that's the same for Turkey on my residence ID.

I'm Egyptian which is different, they put my mother's maiden name in my birth certificate only and in the system too because the bank asks for it but on the passport and ID it's not required.

So what made you think your surname that you thought you were, was your actual surname?
@LunarOrbit The bloodline lol I think. And because my dad and his entire family told me that it's my surname as it is their's.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether hold up, you don't have middle names but you have 4 or 5 names are they all double barrel names, I'm confused
@SW-User The name simply goes "me, father, his father(my grandpa) and his father (dad's grandpa)" that's it as simple as that.
I found this fake ID of our president on a BBC link. It's sold as a souvenir lol
It says Address: Ministry of defense Job: Egypt's savior 😂😂

Anyway I hope it helps. His name is "Abdelfattah Saeed Hussein Elsisi" 4 names. The 4th name is basically the last name by international standards and for me it's somehow the 5th name not the 4th so that's the error. That's also how the president is known to you as Sisi only because it's the last name on his legal documents.
