Hi!
Can you elaborate what does the following line mean, especially the underlined?
"If your primary or secondary identification contains diacritical accented characters that are not reflected in your registritaion, you will be permitted to proceed"

Hi Whatdaheck,

Diacritical marks are used to indicate an accent or a different pronunciation -- usually of a foreign language other than English.

When filling out your name on the registration form, you must use the same diacritical marks that is shown on your ID such as your passport, driver's license or birth certificate.
