How do you write your name with initials? You simply replace the name with the first letter of the name, capitalized and followed by a period.

This appears to be not a good idea, Always keep only a single name on all the documents. The birth certificate is the bonafide document. if adding the initial means you need to carry the same initial everywhere.

Initials are the capital letters which begin each word of a name. For example, if your full name is Michael Dennis Stocks, your initials will be M. D. S.

The initials of name are meant to be written in the front.

No initials should be written and all initials (if any) in the applicant's name should be expanded. For instance, for the name used above, writing the Given Name as “P.K.JAIN” or “PIYUSH K JAIN” is not correct. No honorifics, titles such as Major, Doctor etc should be written.

It is correct to have your initials after the name. If for example someone is Sita R. (say Sita Ramanathan) the passport will be issued with that full name. The old system, especially in South India was naming as R.

The initials have to be in full, and not like P.N - this poses a security concern. I have reprinted many government forms after reconstructing them in my computer - they accept it. If the junior level officer does not accept the form - plead him to talk to the senior and explain why the form is valid.

Generally, you use the first letter of your first and the first letter of your last name as your initials, but you can also include the first letter of your middle name or maiden name, or more than one letter from one of the names (e.g. someone with the last name DiAmico using both D and A).
