What do I enter for 'Surname' and 'Given Name'?

When filling out the Ivory Coast e-Visa application, it's important to enter your Surname and Given Name exactly as they appear in your passport. Here's how to do it correctly:

1. Surname (Last Name/Family Name):

This is the name that is typically shared with your family members.

What to enter: Your Last Name / Family Name exactly as shown on your passport.

2. Given Name (First Name/Other Names):

If your passport includes a middle name or additional given names, include them here as well.

What to enter: Your First Name(s) & Middle Name(s) exactly as in your passport.

Important Tips:

Match Your Passport Exactly: Ensure the spelling, order, and spacing of your names match your passport exactly. Any discrepancies could lead to delays or rejection of your e-visa application.

No Nicknames: Do not use nicknames or shortened versions of your name unless they are officially listed in your passport.

Double-Check: Review your passport carefully before entering the information to avoid mistakes.

Contact Support if Needed: If your naming situation is unusual, that is on special cases such as:

Single Name (Mononym);
No Surname in Passport;
Multiple Names;
Reversed order.

Let's consider reaching out to the Ivory Coast e-visa helpdesk or the embassy for clarification. By entering your Surname and Given Name accurately, you can ensure a smooth e-Visa application process.
