Prior names don't fit in box by: Stephanie Question: In section 9, it says to list all other names you have used - neither of my previous names fit in the boxes provided, they are both too long. How do I enter this information? Do I simply write them on a separate piece of paper and include them with my application, indicating that these are my previously used names? Do I enter anything into the section 9 boxes, such as see other page? Answer: You may attach a separate piece of paper listing other names you have used in the past. Label the paper as such. There is no need to enter anything in the Section 9 boxes.
