Changing Your Name or Marital Status

Name changes may be made for several reasons, including marital status change, misspelling, or desire to go by another name. The signature of the person on record is required for any name or marital status change.

The name listed on the Academic Record and Employment Record at BYU must be the legal name of the individual.

Required Documentation

If an individual has an academic record at BYU (any BYU credit) and/or is enrolled for courses or admitted as a student to BYU, documentation is needed in addition to a signature for a name change. If not employed within the last year, acceptable forms of documentation include: social security card, driver's license, or marriage certificate. If the individual is/was an international student, then a copy of the passport/visa is acceptable.

If an individual is employed at BYU, or has been within the last tax year, documentation is needed in addition to a signature for a name change. A copy of the Social Security Card is the ONLY documentation accepted for a name change of employed individuals and the person’s name on record must appear exactly as it does on the Social Security Card.
