Im asking this question for my nurse friend who is about to start her UK journey..
Though she is alittle bit confuse about an issues she is having with her names.
She want to do her international passport and then register for IELTS but she don't know which name to use, if to use the two names on her NMCN license(Surname and First name) or to use the three names on her BNSC Certificate ( Surname, First name and middle name).
Because having an IP is the first step.
Her middle name was omitted during her nmc registration
