Change my name for exam through Pearson VUE

Hello, I want to take an exam through Pearson VUE. In the exam registration process, my last name doesn't match the last name on my ID/passport because of foreign characters I changed to a version which is acceptable in Germany but doesn't match the Pearson VUE guidelines.

My surname is ***REMOVED***, current displayed name is ***REMOVED***, required name to take the exam with Pearson VUE is ***REMOVED***.

Please change my last name in the exam registration process to ***REMOVED***, so I can take the exam. Thank you
