The legal name on a Microsoft certification profile cannot be changed directly by others. It must be updated through the Microsoft Learn profile and, if an exam is already scheduled, via Credentials Support.
Follow these steps:
- Update the legal name in the Microsoft Learn profile:
- Sign in to the Microsoft Learn profile associated with the certification ID.
- Go to Settings in the profile.
- In the Legal name section, update:
- First name:
HARI PRIYA - Last name:
GOVINTHARAJ PASUPATHY MURTHY
- First name:
- Save the changes.
- If an exam is already scheduled or the system indicates that the name change requires review:
- After updating the legal name in Settings, a message and link will appear prompting contact with Certification/Credentials Support.
- Use that link to submit a support request so the Credentials Support team can review and apply the name change to the certification profile and any existing bookings.
These are the supported channels to align the certification profile name with the passport/legal ID.
