Updating your legal name
The name used for your enrolment will be the one that appears on your testamur (graduation certificate). If your legal name has changed since you enrolled, you can fill out the Amend your Personal Details form (PDF 399 KB) and submit it via our online enquiries portal.
If your legal name has changed after graduation, you can request a replacement testamur.
