Hi Team,

I need assistance in correcting my legal name associated with my Microsoft Certification profile and my upcoming PL-400 exam.

I registered and scheduled the PL-400 exam via Microsoft Learn on May 11, 2026, and the exam is scheduled for May 25, 2026.

However, my name is currently displayed incorrectly as:

Incorrect Name: Yasin Shaik Correct Legal Name: Yasin Khan Shaik

All my government-issued ID proofs (Aadhaar and PAN card), which I will present during the exam, reflect my correct name as Yasin Khan Shaik.

I kindly request you to:

  1. Update my legal name in my Microsoft Certification profile
  2. Ensure the corrected name is reflected in the exam provider system (OnVUE / Pearson VUE)

Please let me know if you require any documents or additional information to process this request.

Thank you for your support.

Best regards, Yasin Khan Shaik

    You update your Legal name on your Microsoft Learn profile under Settings https://learn.microsoft.com/users/me/settings

    If you have an exam booked, you will be shown a message and link to contact Credentials support https://aka.ms/credentials-support

    To correct the legal name for the PL-400 exam and ensure it matches government ID, follow these steps:

    1. Update the legal name on the Microsoft Learn profile:
      • Sign in to the Microsoft Learn profile that was used to schedule the PL-400 exam.
      • Open profile Settings: https://learn.microsoft.com/users/me/settings
      • Update the Legal name so it exactly matches the government ID: Yasin Khan Shaik.
      • Save the changes.
    2. If an exam is already scheduled (as in this case):
      • After updating the legal name, if any message appears instructing to contact Certification/Credentials Support, follow that link and submit a support request so the team can align the name across systems (including Pearson VUE/OnVUE).
      • If needed, go directly to the Credentials Support help page and use the support request option for Microsoft Certifications: https://learn.microsoft.com/credentials/support/help#how-to-contact-support
    3. For issues specifically with the exam appointment in Pearson VUE/OnVUE:
      • If the name mismatch persists in the exam provider’s system, contact Pearson VUE Support for Microsoft exams so they can verify and update the booking details based on the corrected Microsoft profile and guidance from Credentials Support.

    Ensure that on exam day the name on the Microsoft Certification profile and Pearson VUE booking matches exactly the name on the government-issued ID (Yasin Khan Shaik), as this is required for admission to the exam.
