It is best to make sure that all personal details on official documents be perfect.

While usually there will not be any serious issues, sometimes misspelt names, incorrect date of birth, wrong sex and erroneous country of origin could create hassles - particularly at airports and at border crossings.

Better to get make sure all official documents are prefect to the 't'.

Good luck.
