How do I request a name change after registering for a CLEP exam?
If you need to change or update your name after you’ve registered for a CLEP exam, you need to submit a Name Change Request form (.pdf/356 KB).
If the name change is significant (for example, more than just a mistyped letter or changing a nickname to the full name), you’ll also need to submit a valid photograph with your name and at least one form of identification such as a government-issued ID, school ID, or birth certificate. Processing name change requests can take 2–3 business days.
