No. Request that he adds an UID to his key with his name as it appears on
his documents (the name that he would have in a international travel pass,
for example), and sign THAT UID (and any others you have verified to be
completely true).

The NM process is not a 'internet ressort club' :) That means using an ID
that is made up of a real name, that can be used to track down real people
in real life, and a verified email address to reach that people in internet
life...

Since the gpg signature IS our ID verification, we should be very strict on
that. I sure hope the DAM would reject an applicant that has a nickname for
his Debian signed UID...
