I am trying to complete a DS-160 for visa stamping. On my passport, there is no name listed under my given name. How should I complete my name on the DS-160?

Answer

If a person is missing a given / first name or a surname (i.e., last name) on the passport, we generally recommend putting FNU under the “Given Name” section, and then entering one’s entire name in the “Surname” section. See the U.S. Department of State’s DS-160 FAQs for more details. (14.Dec.2023)
