A girl named Khaleesi influenced by the series, Game of Thrones was supposedly denied a Passport for a vague reason, astonishing the family.
The family was eagerly looking forward to their first vacation to Disneyland Paris. Upon reaching for the primary document which is Passport, the Mother-Daughter duo was informed about the name being a trademark issue and that an NOC or clearance certificate from the Production house is needed.
The lawyer of the 39-year-old mother claimed that Game of Thrones was a trademark but for the product and services, the trademark is null and void. Despite strong arguments, the officials were pressurized for a letter from the Warner Brothers.
Lucy Argued with the Birth certificate claiming her daughter received a Birth Certificate and none of the officials flagged the issue. Lucy never thought of any such issues.
However, multiple resharing of the social media posts led to an apology from the Passport authority who later processed the passport formalities.

The passports are being processed and an apology has been issued for the family for all the hassle they had to go through said a spokesperson of the Home office.
