It seems silly, but I really do want it to match and be all one name since that is what it is on our Social Security cards, Drivers License, credit cards, legal name change doc, etc. Guess I'll have to send the passports back. Ugh. I am a little worried they won't fix it though since it was submitted properly with no space in the first place.
I'm a McK*** and when my last passport was issued in 2007, they added a space and issued it as Mc K***.

I've never had a problem with UA, Pre-Check, etc. It's a complete non-issue and I've just sent it back in for a renewal and expect it to be issued the same way again.

I've also never had an issue at hotels, car rentals, etc.
