Hi MC,

We appreciate your time and continuous effort sending the necessary information to help us proceed in taking care of your concern.

Please review the private message we have sent and verify the changes regarding your legal name change request. Kindly note that it may take up to 24 hours for these updates to be visible on your end, and you may need to wait before proceeding with any exam registrations.

In case changes were still not reflecting on your profile after 24 hours, please let me know by replying with a screenshot. 

To ensure that the updated changes also reflected through Pearson VUE, accordingly, please follow the steps below:

  1. Go to Browse Credentials | Microsoft Learn and select any exam.

  2. Click the schedule button and you may be prompted to sign into/create your Learn Profile. We recommend you login with your personal Microsoft account (MSA).

  3. You will be prompted to fill out some information such as address, phone number, and contact email before you are redirected to Pearson Vue. This information is only collected since Pearson Vue requires it and Microsoft never stores this information.

  4. Click "Submit" to go to Pearson Vue site. After that, you should be transferred to the Pearson VUE page. Please confirm if the name is updated correctly by clicking the small arrow on the left corner as highlighted below.

    NOTE: Do not complete the exam registration, this is only to send the update to Pearson VUE.
