My given name is a 2 part name with more than 18 characters. I had applied for passport book & passport card. Received a letter from Passport office giving me the option of shortening my first name + middle name to be within 18 characters in both passport card and passport book or opting to forego passport card (the fee for which will be refunded). There is no such limit for the passport book. I have opted to forego the passport card and get only the passport book with full name.
Wanted to alert future applicants with long names.
