Hello,

I am trying to update my Legal Name in my Microsoft Learn profile to ensure it matches my official identity documents for an upcoming Microsoft certification exam.

What I am trying to do:
Update my legal name in my Microsoft Learn profile so it complies with Microsoft and Pearson VUE identity verification requirements on exam day.

Current situation:

  • The name currently shown on my exam profile is:
    Ayah Mohammad Raja Abu Thib
  • My legal name in Arabic is:
    ايه محمد رجا ابوذيب

Document-related challenges:

My Palestinian National ID contains Arabic and Hebrew only, with no English transliteration.

My passport shows an abbreviated English name, and its validity has expired.

I also have a university certificate that shows my full English name.

Steps already taken:

Logged into my Microsoft Learn profile

Navigated to Profile Settings

Attempted to update my Legal Name

Received a message instructing me to contact Certification Support, and I am unable to edit the name myself

My question:
What is the correct process to have my legal name reviewed and updated by Microsoft Credentials Support so that my identity can be verified successfully on exam day?

Supporting documents:
I have uploaded the following documents for reference:

Palestinian National ID

Passport (expired)

University certificate (showing my full English name)

📎 Documents link:

Please also advise which exact name format you recommend so that it fully aligns with Microsoft’s requirements and avoids any issues on exam day.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
