Name Changes

If your name has changed since you graduated, completed your program or left school and you want to have your certificate issued in your current name, you will need to change/revise the school register.
When applying for certificates, please submit a notification of change of name affixed with your signature and seal as well as documents that confirm your name change (copy of the relevant extract from your family register issued within the last three months and either a copy of the notes section on the back of your driver’s license or a copy of the name change column in your pension book).
If you do not mind having the certificate issued in the name you held at the time of your graduation, etc., the above procedure is unnecessary. However, you are still asked to submit documentation that links your former and current names (such as a copy of the notes section on the back of your driver’s license, or the name change column in your pension book) to verify your identity.

You can download the notification of change of name form below.
