Little confusion regarding my name in certificates and other cards.

Sir my correct name is TINKER MAHAMMED MUNEER BASHA, where surname is TINKER, first name is MAHAMMED MUNEER and middle name is BASHA. And my father's name is TINKER MAHAMMED YUSUF.

So it's generally written as MAHAMMED MUNEER BASHA TINKER. But in my SSC it is as follows. TINKERMAHAMMED MONEER BASHA. There are two mistakes, the first one is there is no space between TINKER and MAHAMMED and the second one is a there is letter 'O' in the place of 'U'. And my father name in ssc is as follows TINKERMAHAMMED YUSUF, here also there is no space between TINKER and MAHAMMED.

Where as in my Intermediate and degree(B.Tech) certificates it is as follows.. TINKERMAHAMMED MUNEER BASHA, here there is ONLY ONE mistake that is there is no space between TINKER and MAHAMMED.
and my father name is as same as it is in ssc certificates.
I however was able to made residence certificate, date of birth certificate, pan card and driving license with my CORRECT name. Now I've to apply for passport, they are asking my given name and surname. So my questions are

1> Is the Space really matters?

2> What I've to do with one letter mistake in my name(MONEER in place of MUNEER)in my ssc certificate. Is one letter really a major name change?

3> Will these errors are consider as serious by passport officials? Could a simple affidavit, suffice it? or Is the mistakes a real issue?, is there a simple way to resolve this ambiguity?


Thanks in advance and Sorry for my english.
