Hi! New to the forum and have a question regarding passport issues.

I have a very common first and middle name with the surname ‘smith’ for the past 10 years my passport never allows me to check in online and I always need to seek assistance at e- gates. I nearly missed my flight travelling from Canada to Mexico as the airline had to send pictures of my passport to “clear” me to fly. I have never been denied entry or denied boarding so I know there is no major issues, it is however a massive inconvenience and adds time on to every trip.

has anyone else had similar issues and is there a way to somehow get the passport or name verified?

thanks !
