All over the globe, the standard practice is: First name Middle name(s) if any Surname or Last Name However, if you write your surname first, always put comma so that readers can identify it as such. For example, if you write John, James a reader will know that John is your surname and James is your first name.
The first item appearing under Name/Nom is the surname (family name) of the individual followed immediately below by the first name (common name).
You don't have to (it's now possible to renew your passport online), but you can. Most post offices offer passport renewal services—it's best to verify online if your local USPS is one of them.

If you use a surname you must furnish the same here. No initials should be written and all initials (if any) in the applicant's name should be expanded. For instance, for the name used above, writing the Given Name as “P.K. JAIN” or “PIYUSH K JAIN” is not correct.
