Name Change Approved: Verification of Name changes to match Govt ID

I am writing to request an update to my name in my Microsoft Certification profile and Pearson VUE account to ensure it matches my government issue id for my exam.


I have tried to do this online but it requires verification.


The first and last names are correct. My middle name is shown as a initial and I need to update this to be the full name to match my ID

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for the information provided in your private message.

I'm pleased to inform you that your legal name has been successfully updated as requested. The changes should be reflected on your Learn profile within the next 24 hours.

Kindly review the private message I have sent and confirm that the changes are visible. Please note that it may take up to 24 hours before you can attempt to register for any exams. Should the changes still not be reflected on your profile after 24 hours, please respond to the private message with a screenshot.

To ensure that your name has been updated also in your Pearson VUE profile, kindly follow the work around provided below to view the changes:

  1. Visit the Browse Credentials | Microsoft Learn and select any exam.

  2. Click the schedule button. You may be prompted to sign in or create your Learn Profile. We recommend using your personal Microsoft account (MSA).

  3. Provide the required information, such as your address, phone number, and contact email. This information is collected solely for Pearson VUE and is not stored by Microsoft.

  4. Click "Submit" to proceed to the Pearson VUE site. You will be redirected to the Pearson VUE page. NOTE: Do not complete the exam registration; this step is only to send the update to Pearson VUE.
