Hi there,

Unfortunately there is a likelihood that JR can refuse to exchange your pass, although various websites/personal accounts say that they have had no issues exchanging the pass without putting their middle name. I can’t make any guarantees as it entirely depends on where, when and who will be there when you exchange your pass.

Kind regards,

Alexis
