DBS form insists I use MISS AIBU to insist on MS?

[flamingnoravera]

I have always used Ms as my title. I am trying to complete a DBS form. I selected the title Ms and a box then appears asking me to disclose a previous name. I have never been known by a previous name. Even when I was married I used my current surname. If I check "Miss" the date dissapears but I am 58 years old and I do not use the title Miss. I am not a Miss.

AIBU to not complete the form? The number to call on the top of the online form "is not recognised" and my mobile provider has blocked the number anyway because it is £1.45 a minute.

On a matter of principle I will not be known as Miss. I have umpteen DBS forms which have never thrown up this glitch. AIBU to say "sod it" and insist on a paper form?

I know this is a zombie thread, but I just wanted to say in the light of feminism not progressing very much in the last 4 years, that I have just been sent round in endless circles by this form, which insisted I couldn't select the "no other name since birth" option.

It took me ages to work out why - and it's because I selected "Ms" as my title (married, didn't change my name, never divorced).

I have used "Ms" since I became an adult, and it's frankly ridiculous that the DBS wouldn't allow me to select this and proceed without giving details of a name change.

I was tempted to select Mx but thought that would open a whole new can of worms.

@theatremachine I'm shocked that this is still the case. I was assured that this was going to be changed "imminently". How this form could have been signed off at the design stage is just a mystery.

NB you might notice that my user name changed as a result of this ridiculous DBS form.
