WU: where to put second last and last name?

[sciatac]

WU asks for first, middle and last names.

Receiver gives me the First, Last, Second Last name.

Which goes where? Can't afford delay/problems by reciever not being able to pick up!

If you're filling out a paper form it all goes in the same box.  If online put first and middle in the first name bit and last name in the surname box.

Confused. Looking at the form - there is a line for First name, next line is Middle name, last line is Last Name.

Both are on the same piece of paper A5 size.

All I can say is this is the same form I've been using at the stores for WU for years. Money in Minutes, etc. And I have to figure out if the Last name goes in the box for Middle name or if the Second Last name goes there.

I usually just try to squeeze in both last names into the last name section. Sometimes the have two first names as well, I do the same there too. 

ps: Just a little side note to @sciatic; I strongly advise against sending money to Mexico online, unless you want to get blacklisted or you account locked, or be on a phone with WU for 3 hours.

Did the transfer, as I said, the form has a line for First Name, then one for Middle Name, then one for Last Name. But the agent showed me her screen, and it also shows Paternal for the middle, and Maternal for the Last.

I reckon different outlets  or countrys have different forms. Never seen a form asking that.

I just wanted to add something important that I learned the hard way.

If you have a 3 name receiver, just list them in order, leaving middle name blank.

Now the tricky ones are once in awhile you get a 4 name receiver. You still leave the middle name blank if you are sending to Mexico.

Put the first 2 names on the first name line and the 2 last names in order like above.

There is no middle name line on the receiving end and if you use it, the receiver will not be able to pick up. Then you will have to go back and fix it like I had to as as rookie.

Perfectly stated (as always) by 2earls!  Most of the vendors that I have used give good instructions and if you read those instructions carefully before filling out the form it really helps when filling it out (at least for MG).

Is last name on mg maternal or paternal? I just screwed up apparently and caused a delay. Need help fast folks!

I am too late to be of any help but here:

First name: W

Middle name: X

Paternal name: Y

Maternal name: Z

MG says 'Y' is last name.
