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

    To change or fix the name that appears on Microsoft certifications, update the legal name in the Microsoft Learn profile and, if needed, contact Certification Support.

    1. Make sure you are signed in to the correct Microsoft Learn profile.
    2. Go to your profile Settings page: use the settings link in your Learn profile.
    3. Follow the instructions there to update your Legal Name.
    4. If the site shows a message asking to contact Certification Support, follow that link and file a ticket with the Credentials Support team so they can correct the name on certification records.

    If the issue is specifically with a GitHub Certification, use the GitHub Certifications support path instead (also under Credentials support) and update the Legal Name in that profile, then contact GitHub Zendesk support if required.

    For cases where an incorrect legal name prevented taking an exam (for example, a duplicated name), use the Credentials Support page to request a correction to the Legal Name so that it matches the ID used at the test center.
