@JessTheUnstill if you want to ask for "name in passport" don't complain if there's no first name, e.g. Malaysian passports put the entire name in the surname field
see the sample on PRADO: https://www.consilium.europa.eu/prado/en/MYS-AO-03001/image-315879.html
(in the MRZ a < character represents a space in a name, the string << separates the surname and forename)
