  1. The site splits the name field into separate fields for given name and surname
    • While not necessarily a problem in its own right, in the vast majority of cases, such sites will have further issues handling the additional fields.

    • Known workarounds:
      • U+200B ZERO WIDTH SPACE
  3. Verification rejects valid ID if your name is a mononym
